Serum concentrations of the cardiac troponins (cTn) T and I, specific markers of myocardial injury, are frequently elevated in haemodialysis patients. The clinical relevance of this is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with increased serum levels of cTn in haemodialysis patients.
