- Abstract
Background. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was recently shown to predict survival in prevalent haemodialysis patients. Soluble VEGF receptors (sVEGFR)-1 and -2 are circulating endogenous modulators of VEGF activity. We thus studied the relationship between sVEGFR-1 and -2 and survival in a cohort of prevalent haemodialysis (HD) patients.
