Simvastatin Effect on End Stage Renal Failure Patients Treated by Peritoneal Dialysis - Full Text View

Purpose

This study will analyse the effect of simvastatin on endothelium dependent venodilation in chronic renal failure patients treated by peritoneal dialysis. The hypothesis is that patients will have a greater endothelium dependent venodilation after four months of simvastatin use.
