Circulating Ang-2 level was increased in patients treated with dialysis, although the mechanism is unknown. Kidney transplantation normalized circulating Ang-2 levels after 3 months. In addition, Ang-2 might be a mediator (and thus a marker) that accounts for accelerated atherosclerosis in dialysis patients.
