LV twist and untwist were independently correlated with the CD8+ T-cells (β = 0.405, p = 0.02 and β = −0.367, p = 0.03, respectively) in CKD patients, whereas the CD14++CD16+ monocytes were independent correlates of LV twist and untwist in KTRs (β = 0.405, p = 0.02 and β = −0.367, p = 0.03, respectively). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
