Additionally, the potential link between endothelial and inflammatory biomarkers, including intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and sarcopenia was also evaluated in a subgroup of our CKD cohort. The gene discussed is VCAM1; the disease is sarcopenia.
