- Balance, Fresenius Medical Care, Germany
Primary outcomes
- Inflammation-endothelial-dysfunction index (IEDI) — Baseline and 12 months
Inflammation-endothelial-dysfunction index (IEDI) is a composite score derived from measurement of serum levels of CRP (high sensitivity assay), soluble VCAM-1 and soluble ICAM-1. Changes between the groups will be tested by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with baseline values as covariates. Serial data will also be analyzed using a linear mixed model.
