Cardiac Troponin T: Smaller Molecules in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease than after Onset of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

We found that cTnT forms in ESRD patients are small (<18 kDa) and different from forms seen in AMI patients. These insights may prove useful for development of a more specific cTnT immunoassay, especially for the acute and diagnostic phase of myocardial infarction.
