Abstract

Levels of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine are elevated in patients undergoing kidney transplantation and may contribute to vascular complications. In this study we tested the hypothesis that elevated asymmetric dimethylarginine can be reduced in patients after kidney transplantation by early regularphysical exercise.

Selected cytokines and metabolic parametres were also analysed.
