Brief summary template
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess endothelial dysfunction in geriatric non-dialysis CKD patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
• In geriatric non-dialysis CKD patients, the study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between soluble vascular endothelial cadherin and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels, which are indicators of endothelial dysfunction-and therefore a possible cardiovascular risk factor-using measurement methods such as ultrasonographic carotid intima-media thickness, flow-mediated dilation, and nailfold capillaroscopy.
Participants will have measurement of;
* ultrasonographic carotid intima-media thickness,
* flow-mediated dilation,
* nailfold capillaroscopy
* venous blood sampling
* Visit the clinic once,
