Prevalence of Arterial Stiffness and Associated Factors in Thai Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Conclusion: Arterial stiffness was markedly raised in all groups of CKD patients with an overall prevalence of 56%. The highest prevalence of arterial stiffness was found in ESRD patients treated with HD and CAPD. It was shown that the associated factors that independently increased arterial stiffness were HD patients, KT recipients, older age and higher central MAP. PMID: 29927191 [PubMed - in process]
