A17586 Cardio-ankle vascular index predicts incidence of chronic kidney disease in patients with life-style related disease

Objectives: Only few longitudinal studies have investigated the association of large artery stiffness and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate whether cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), one of the indexes of large artery stiffness, predicts the development of CKD. Methods: Patients with life-style related disease such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus without CKD underwent baseline measurement...
