Background: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), endothelin-1 (ET-1) always increases and there are changes in cardiac ultrasonography. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the role of serum ET-1 in predicting cardiac complications in patients with CKD.Methods: The level of serum ET-1 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cardiac ultrasonography was performed in enrolled patients. Indexes of heart failure, such as left ventricular mass index, interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular end diastolic diameter, were measured in patients with CKD.Results: In the present study, we found that the level of serum ET-1 was significantly correlated with left ventricular mass index, interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (p<.001) in non-dialysis patients with CKD.Conclusions: The results of the present study indicated that the level of serum ET-1 is closely related to the cardiac complications of CKD and is a useful predictor of cardiac complication.
