[Risk factors and pathogenetic mechanisms of left ventricular hypertrophy in progressive chronic kidney disease and after transplantation of the kidney].

Abstract

The same mechanisms are involved in LVH pathogenesis after transplantation and at a predialysis stage of CKD. The significance of initial renal lesion signs--minimal proteinuria and hypercreatininemia--was higher after renal transplantation than in patients with CKD.
