Correlation Between Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate(eGFR) and Vascular Inflammation Measured by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) With 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Vascular inflammation is a key factor in both the pathogenesis and outcome of atherosclerosis. Renal insufficiency is close correlation with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality.
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising tool for identifying and quantifying vascular inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques.Therefore, the purpose of the study is to demonstrate the correlation between eGFR and vascular inflammation detected by 18F FDG-PET.
