Kidney disease, kidney transplanation and their effect on the function of the large arteries (review)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify kidney disease and its effects on vascular
function. At the same time, an attempt was made to study the kidney transplantation and
its effect on the vascular system.
Methodology : For the implementation of this work, a thorough and systematic review of
the international literature of the already existing research on kidney disease, kidney
transplantation and their effect on large vessels was perfomed.
Results: Studies have shown that kidney disease negatively affects the function of the
large arteries and is an additional factor in cardiovascular diseases. Patients with kidney
disfunction present worse vascular markers than in the healthy population and after
kidney transplantation, both recipients and donors of the transplant do not show the
expected improvement.
Conclusions: Kidney disease causes deterioration of the vascular system which is
irreversible and is an additional aggravating indicator of cardiovascular risk. However,
kidney transplantation does not appear to cause significant changes in large vessel
function.
