Plasmatic osteopontin and vascular access dysfunction in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional, case–control study (The OSMOSIS Study)

Description

Despite close follow-up of patients with native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), up to 10% experience thrombosis each year. The OSMOSIS Study (Osteopontin as a Marker of Stenosis) tested the hypothesis that the systemic osteopontin level, a pro-inflammatory mediator related to vascular remodelling and intimal hyperplasia, increases in AVF stenosis, and may be used in clinical surveillance.
