Abstract
In proteinuria patients, the most significant reason of mortality is cardiovascular diseases caused by increased atherosclerosis. This study seeks to reveal the effects of the changes in the amount of proteinuria on the pulse waves of patients with proteinuria in a period of treatment of six months. 15 voluntary patients with proteinuria that applied to the outpatient clinic of Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Cumhuriyet University for the first time enrolled in the study. PWV and AI measurements of the patients were taken by using a pressure-sensitive transduser by a single operator at the moment of diagnosis, third month, and six months after the diagnosis. Ten of the patients were female (66.7%), 5 were male (33.3%). The mean age of the patients was found to be 48.13±11.96 years. When the average of the patients’ micro total proteinuria (MTP), Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AI) measurement are exami...
