Özet

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) has been shown to protect against atherosclerosis by modifying lipoproteins. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) has been proposed as a new cardiovascular risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PON-1 activity and EFT in renal transplant recipients.
