Abstract: Despite the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in patients on dialysis, there are not many studies that analyse the incidence of the risk factors and the repercussions of peripheral arteriopathy and diabetic foot in patients undergoing dialysis. Aims To determine the prevalence of peripheral arteriopathy and diabetic foot in dialysis patients in our unit.

“…Despite the high prevalence of foot ulceration in the dialysis population, there is a paucity of high‐quality prospective studies that have investigated the risk factors associated with this condition. Existing risk factor studies [5, 6, 8–10, 12, 82–88] have been limited by small sample sizes, inadequate control for confounding variables, do not encompass a full range of risk factors, and the majority are either cross‐sectional or retrospective. Moreover, these study designs do not examine for a temporal sequence of events, so it is difficult to conclude whether these risk factors are associated with an increase in foot ulceration.…”
