The soluble receptor of advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) may exert anti-inflammatory protective roles on the vasculature. In contrast, the RAGE ligand S100A12 (also known as EN-RAGE) contributes to inflammation and the development of atherosclerosis in animal models. Whether alterations at this level contribute to the increased mortality observed in patients on dialysis is currently unknown.
