Prevalence of moderate or severe chronic kidney disease in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease versus mild or moderate peripheral arterial disease.

摘要

BACKGROUND: To investigate the prevalence of moderate or severe chronic kidney disease in patients with severe versus mild or moderate peripheral arterial disease. MATERIAL/METHODS: We investigated the prevalence of moderate or severe chronic kidney disease diagnosed as an estimated glomerular filtration rate /=60 ml/min/1.73 m2 was present in 99 of 322 patients (31) with peripheral arterial disease. An estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 was present in 105 of 130 patients (81) with an ankle-brachial index <0.60 and in 118 of 192 patients (61) with an ankle-brachial index of 0.60-0.89 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of moderate or severe chronic kidney disease is high in patients with peripheral arterial disease and is significantly higher (p<0.001) in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease than in patients with mild or moderate peripheral arterial disease.
