Association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and peripheral arterial disease

Abstract

An advanced stage of CKD is independently and significantly associated with the presence of PAD. Targeted screening with ABI measurement can be beneficial in patients with CKD.

The relationship of renal function to segmental vascular stiffness, ankle‐brachial index, and peripheral artery disease

“…Estimates from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) showed that the prevalence of PAD in patients with CKD is 24% . The previous study also showed a more advanced stage of CKD significantly correlated with the presence of PAD . Consistent with prior reports, our study revealed a high PAD prevalence of 24.4% in patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 using CKD‐EPI formula, which doubled the risk of PAD (15.4%) in participants with eGFR higher than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .…”

Development and validation of optimal cut-off value in inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference for prediction of cardiovascular events

“…The BP measurements of both arms were done simultaneously using the ankle-brachial BP index (ABI) form of automatic device (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan) [14,15]. Measurements were taken in the sequence of right arm, left arm, right ankle, and left ankle and repeated twice in the supine position with appropriately sized cuffs.…”

Cystatin C-Based eGFR Is a Superior Prognostic Parameter to Creatinine-Based eGFR in Post-Endovascular Therapy Peripheral Artery Disease Patients

“…[22][23][24] Given that eGFR is simple and easy to calculate, eGFRcr is the most prevalent index for assessing overall kidney function. A previous study, however, proposed that eGFRcr is often overestimated in individuals with reduced muscle mass.…”
