There are studies reporting that soluble kltho (sKlotho) deficiency plays a role in cardiovascular disease in addition to traditional risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, anemia, smoking, and excessive volume burden. Our aim in this study was to investigate the relationship of sKlotho with uremic cardiomyopathy and echocardiographic parameters in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. According to the median value, the sKlotho value was divided into two groups as ≥1.24 and <1.24 ng/ml. Ventricular wall thicknesses, ejection fractions, left atrium, M mode aorta systole, and diastole diameter measurements were taken. The left ventricular mass (LVM) was calculated using the Devereux formula. There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, number of patients with diabetes mellitus, comorbidity, dialysis time, sKlotho, phosphorus, parathormone, and albumin parameters. No significant difference was found between the two groups that were separated according to the median sKlotho value, when the echocardiographic parameters of interventricular septum thickness, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, left atrial diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, and LVM index were compared. In conclusion, sKlotho is not a marker for showing and predicting uremic cardiomyopathy in hemodialysis patients.
