Abstract

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is known to be involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, inflammation, and vascular function. Clinical studies have demonstrated its correlation with peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, and pulmonary hypertension. In this study, we explored its potential roles in the background of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
