Abstract
Moderate elevations of cardiac troponin (Tn) T, up to levels presumably diagnostic for minor myocardial damage, are suspected to be false positive in nearly 0.3 of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD). It is not clear whether cardiac TnI is superior to TnT in those patients, if differences between ESRD and pre-ESRD occur, and what the prognostic meaning of these troponin elevations might be.
