Of the 10 chronic haemodialysis patients whose serum
TnT
levels exceeded the threshold value of 0.1 microg.L(-1) at entry into the study, four were dead at 1 year and three others had a diagnosis of
CAD
. Of the 20 chronic haemodialysis patients with normal serum
TnT
levels at entry, one died and none had
CAD
. All five deaths were cardiac related, either arising from acute myocardial infarction or by sudden death. When serum
TnT
levels were compared with accepted predictors of death in chronic haemodialysis patients, such as serum creatinine, serum albumin and haematocrit, in the present study serum
TnT
proved to be more accurate and had excellent sensitivity and specificity. Serum
TnT
was also superior to serum TnI, which proved to be no more discriminating than the non-specific muscle marker, aldolase.
