Abstract Background and Aims Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is very common in patients with chronic kidney disease. There are predisposing factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia that are highly prevalent in this population. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a widely validated diagnostic method for the diagnosis of PAD. A value below 0.9 is suggestive of this pathology. On the other hand, inflammation is a phenomenon that favors development of atherosclerosis and therefore could be another predisposing factor for PAD. There are emerging markers of inflammation such as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) that have an excellent correlation with classic markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP). The objective of our study was to determine whether there is a relationship between ABI values and the degree of inflammation in patients. Method A retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted in our prevalent hemodialysis population between April-May 2019. ABI was measured through the Microlife WatchBP Office ABI™ device. The sample was divided into two groups using 0.9 as a cut-off point: group 1 (ABI <0.9) and group 2 (ABI> 0.9). Inflammatory ratios (NLR, PLR and SII) and other parameters of bone kidney disease such as serum calcium, bicarbonate, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), magnesium and vitamin D were determined. Results 100 patients with chronic kidney disease on chronic hemodialysis belonging to our Avericum Negrin center were analyzed. 42% (N = 42) of the sample were women and 42% (N = 42) were diabetic. The etiology of kidney disease was: 12% (N = 12) renal nephroangiosclerosis, 35% (N = 35) diabetic nephropathy, 14% (N = 14) chronic glomerulonephritis, 8% (N = 8) polycystic kidney disease, 17% (N = 17) unknow and 14% (N = 14) others. 19% (N = 19) had a central venous catheter as vascular access. The mean values of inflammatory and renal bone disease parameters are described in Table 1. The values of PLR and SII index were significantly higher in patients with ABI <0.9. (Figures 1 and 2). Conclusion Patients with peripheral arterial disease (ABI <0.9) had higher PLR and SII values

Abstract Context Individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have a high risk of coronary artery disease, but their risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. Objective In individuals with clinical FH, we tested the hypotheses (1) that the risks of PAD and CKD are elevated and (2) that low ankle-brachial index (ABI) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are associated with a high risk of myocardial infarction. Design and Setting Prospective cohort study of the general population. Participants A total of 106,172 individuals, of whom 7109 were diagnosed with FH. Main Outcome Measures PAD, CKD, and myocardial infarction. Results Compared with individuals with unlikely FH, multivariable adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of PAD were 1.84 (1.70 to 2.00) in those with possible FH and 1.36 (1.00 to 1.84) in individuals with probable/definite FH. For CKD, the corresponding ORs (95% CIs) were 1.92 (1.78 to 2.07) and 2.42 (1.86 to 3.26). Compared with individuals with unlikely FH and ABI >0.9, the multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) of myocardial infarction was 4.60 (2.36 to 8.97) in those with possible/probable/definite FH and ABI ≤0.9. Compared with individuals with unlikely FH and eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, the corresponding value was 2.19 (1.71 to 2.82) in those with possible/probable/definite FH and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Conclusions Individuals with clinical FH have increased risks of PAD and CKD, and low ABI and eGFR are associated with high risk of myocardial infarction. Consequently, individuals with FH should be screened for PAD and CKD, and ABI and eGFR may be used as prognostic tools in the management and treatment of FH to identify those at very high risk of myocardial infarction.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but patients with severe CKD have been excluded from many trials and no objective performance goals exist for patients with PAD and CKD. We sought to analyze the association between severity of CKD and cardiovascular and limb-related outcomes among patients with PAD. Methods: We reviewed records of all patients at our institution who underwent lower extremity angiography between 2006 and 2013. We analyzed outcomes including mortality, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) rate, and major adverse limb event (MALE) rate according to clinical stage of CKD, determined by calculating each patient’s glomerular filtration rate using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. We used Cox proportional hazard modeling to account for covariates, along with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Results: Of 773 patients, 45% had CKD stage 3-5. The patients had a median age of 67, were 58% male, 51% diabetic, and 57% presented with critical limb ischemia (CLI). During a median follow-up time of 3.2 years, patients with higher stages of CKD had an increased rate of death (Figure 1, p<0.001). CKD stages 4 and 5 were significant predictors of mortality in a multivariate model (HR 3.2 and 2.4 vs. CKD 1, P<0.001 and P<0.01, respectively). An analysis of MACE by CKD stage demonstrated similar results (CKD 4 HR 2.2, p<0.01; CKD 5 HR 2.0, p<0.01). CKD stage also predicted MALE in a univariate analysis (p<0.01), driven by increased limb events among patients with CKD stage 5 (p<0.01). However, CKD stage did not demonstrate a significantly increased hazard of MALE in a multivariate Cox model. Conclusions: Patients with PAD who also have CKD have increased rates of adverse outcomes. This relationship seems to be more robust for major cardiovascular events and overall mortality than for major limb events. Future studies should investigate how management of PAD should differ for patients with CKD.
