Malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis/calcification (MIAC) and endothelial dysfunction are the most commonly encountered risk factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in ESRD patients.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between EAT and MIAC syndrome in ESRD patients.
