Background: Fetuin-A is a negative acute-phase protein, which acts as a potent calcification inhibitor and an antagonist of transforming growth factor-β. Thus, fetuin-A levels are influenced by chronic inflammation and actively affect fibrosis and calcification processes, respectively. Graft rejection, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, chronic inflammation and calcification are common causes for kidney allograft loss. This study evaluated whether pretransplant fetuin-A levels predict lo...     »
