Furuya F, et al. - Via cross-sectional analyses of 100 patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, researchers determined the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in hemodialysis patients with diabetes, as well as if cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has utility for screening the presence of PAD. They assessed CAVI and other inflammatory markers. Elderly diabetic patients on hemodialysis had a high prevalence of PAD. Findings were suggestive of the possible utility of CAVI for predicting macrovascular complications in dialysis patients with diabetes.
