Mean±SD, CKD: Chronic kidney disease, SVKI: left ventricular mass index, cIMT: carotid intima media thickness, Aix: augmentation index, PWV: pulse wave velocity, TGF-β1: transforming grow factor -β1, IL-8: interleukin-8, IL-10: interleukin-10, IL-13: interleukin-13. Values are expressed by mean ± SD.
