“…Among the six PAD patients whose cause of death was infection, the foci of infection included lower extremity gangrene in only two patients (13). The serum albumin and creatinine levels were lower, the serum C-reactive protein levels were higher and the hemoglobin levels were lower in the PAD group than in the non-PAD group (13). Many patients with malnutrition inflammation atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome may have also been included in the PAD group.…”

“…An important issue in the management of patients with PAD is the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and premature death (12). Moreover, we recently showed, in a series of 117 hemodialysis patients, that infection was significantly more prevalent in the PAD group than in the non-PAD group (13). Among the six PAD patients whose cause of death was infection, the foci of infection included lower extremity gangrene in only two patients (13).…”

“…PAD is recognized as a polyvascular disease because of the frequent coexistence of coronary artery and [13]. Moreover, we recently showed that, in a study examining 117 hemodialysis patients, infection was significantly more prevalent in the PAD group than in the non-PAD group [8]. Both the short-term and long-term outcomes of hemodialysis patients with PAD have been reported to be poor [6][7][8][9].…”

“…PAD is a regular complication of hemodialysis patients [3,4] and is associated with poor outcomes [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Clinically, the anklebrachial blood pressure index (ABI) is highly correlated with PAD of the lower extremities [10], and ABI is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients [6][7][8][9]. A recent study also revealed that not only the value of the ABI itself but also the rate of the reduction in the ABI was a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality [11].…”
