The impact of vascular calcification among dialysis dependent South African CKD patients. A five year follow up study. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, ethnic variation and hemodynamic correlates
… calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In Western countries, Blacks with ESRD appear to have lesser degrees of vascular calcification compared to non-Blacks. However, there is no published data on the …

The cardiovascular profile of the low renin phenotype in a black South African population
… African ancestry are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular outcomes such as cerebrovascular accidents and heart disease due to hypertension, as compared to whites. The mechanisms involved are not clear, particularly the role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The RAAS is the …

Candidate Genes for Late Diabetic Complications
… transactivator gene (MHC2TA) was associated with cardiovascular mortality and predictors of cardiovascular mortality, microalbuminuria and metabolic syndrome. In study IV and V we showed that polymorphisms in the LTA, TNF and AGER genes were associated with diabetic complications. The association …
