This study underscores the significant association between the inflammatory marker IL-6 and h-cTnT in asymptomatic hemodialysis patients, suggesting that inflammation may play an essential role in the elevation of h-cTnT levels. This association may have implications for predicting cardiovascular events and guiding interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients.
