Abstract
Purpose: Heart damage may develop over time in patients with chronic renal disease and undergoing hemodialysis (HD) treatment. Serum levels of Heat shock protein B7 (HSPB7) and tetranectin proteins change following damage to the heart muscle. This study aimed to determine HSPB7 and tetranectin levels in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
 Materials and Methods: The patients aged 30-60, healthy and HD patients participated in the study and two groups were formed (n = 60): Control group (n = 30) and Patient group (n = 30). Blood samples were taken from healthy subjects who applied to the hospital for check-up and from patients with kidney disease receiving HD treatment. Biochemical parameters were examined from the blood taken. HSPB7 and tetranectin levels from isolated serum samples were determined using measurement kits based on the solid phase sandwich (ELISA) principle.
 Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in gender, age, glucose and Fe values of the subjects (P
