Abstract

Atherosclerosis is an important contributor to increased cardiovascular burden in populations with and without renal disease. Paraoxonases (PON) are a group of enzymes that hydrolyse organophosphates. Recent evidence indicates a protective role for PON in patients with coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. Although data are limited, the low enzyme activity found in patients with chronic kidney disease and renal transplants has been linked to atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness. In this paper, we review the emerging role of PON1 in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
