Context: Soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40l) can predict cardiovascular events (CVE) and mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients (short-, medium-term follow-up studies). Objective: To evaluate the relationship between sCD40l and survival, CVE and mortality in HD patients on long-term follow-up. Methods: W...
