Chronic kidney disease induces a systemic microangiopathy, tissue hypoxia and dysfunctional angiogenesis

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excessive mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Endothelial dysfunction, an early manifestation of CVD, is consistently observed in CKD patients and might be linked to structural defects of the microcirculation including microvascular r...
