Objective Both decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and arterial stiffness were
considered as risk factors for atherosclerosis. Previous studies have suggested the …

Objectives: Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been suspected as a risk factor
for arterial stiffness. Whether high GFR is the risk factor of arterial stiffness and …

Recent studies suggest that decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and uric
acid (UA) may be independent risk factors for arterial stiffness (AS). As serum UA level is …

Arterial stiffness is an important pathophysiological factor linking cardiovascular disease and
kidney disease. Controversy exists as to whether arterial stiffness causes renal function …

Objectives Despite growing evidence that arterial stiffness has important predictive value for
cardiovascular disease in patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease, the …

Background. The association between arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in CKD and
ESRD patients is well established. However, the relationship between renal function …

Aims: Arterial stiffness is known to be an important surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and
predictor of peripheral vascular and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Whether high cardio-ankle …

Aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular
disease, although it has yet to be established whether CKD is an independent risk factor for …

Aim Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Although pulse wave velocity (PWV), which reflects arterial stiffness, was increased in …

Background. The predictors of arterial stiffness across the spectrum of renal function are
unclear. These predictors were investigated across a wide range of estimated glomerular …
