Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). MicroRNA profiling is proven as a powerful tool in the diagnosis of any disease at the molecular level. Hence, the present study aimed to profile the microRNA expression for CAD especially coronary artery calcification in CKD patients.
