The most frequent cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients is cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic inflammation has been identified as an epidemiologically important risk factor for CVD. Elevated levels of minor acute phase reactants, such as ceruloplasmin (Cp) and transferrin, have been related to an increased cardiovascular risk in the general population, but little information is available regarding dialysis patients. We investigated the correlation between Cp and copper concentration (Cu) with major acute phase reactants such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a population of chronic dialytic patients. Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship between long-lasting acute phase proteins such as Cp and nutritional markers.
