This study evaluated cardiovascular risk in children with pre-dialysis CKD using CIMT, ABPM, and echocardiography, and explored the association between bone mineral density and CKD stage. Patients had significantly higher CIMT, LV mass/index, septal thickness, and BP , along with lower E values, compared to controls. Findings suggest early, subclinical cardiovascular remodeling in CKD patients, beginning in the pre-dialysis stage and associated with hypertension and hyperparathyroidism.
