Tsai HJ, et al. - Researchers evaluated correlations among inflammation, malnutrition and their interactions on the risk of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD: assessed via an ankle-brachial index less than 0.9) via analyzing 222 hemodialysis patients (mean age 61.0 ± 11.7 years, 56.8% men) categorized into four groups according to median values of albumin (3.87 g/dL) and logarithm of C-reactive protein (CRP) (0.48 mg/L). Outcomes revealed an increased risk of PAOD among patients undergoing hemodialysis with a lower albumin level and higher CRP level. In hemodialysis patients, a combination of malnutrition and inflammation could be correlated with PAOD.
