Patients with end-stage renal disease have a high risk of premature death, mainly as the result of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is not sufficiently explained by the conventional risk factors. We therefore prospectively investigated total mortality and cardiovascular events in 102 patients on hemodialysis and assessed the prognostic value of baseline disease status and laboratory variables including total homocysteine and cardiac troponin T.
