Background. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well as those with mild renal insufficiency are at increased risk for the development of cardiovascular disease, which cannot be attributed entirely to traditional risk factors. Endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammatory activity, two important phenomena in atherogenesis, can be found in ESRD. At present, it is unclear whether endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammatory activity are related to renal function in the pre-dialysis stage.Methods. In a cross-sectional, single-centre study, four groups of 20 subjects with renal function ranging from a normal, calculated creatinine clearance (> 90 ml/min) to a pre-dialysis situation (
