BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a known predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among hemodialysis patients. Although ankle-brachial BP index (ABI) is a simple and reliable test for PAD screening, its sensitivity has been suggested to decrease among dialysis patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: We performed a cross-sectional outpatient cohort study to examine prevalence of PAD among hemodialysis patients using duplex ultrasonography of the lower extremity artery. We also evaluate the influence of increased arterial stiffness on impaired accuracy of ABI for PAD screening. RESULTS: Of 315 total patients, 23.8% had PAD. PAD was associated with younger age, diabetes, current smoking, atherosclerotic comorbidities, increased total cholesterol levels, increased triglyceride levels, and lower Kt/V. The receiver operating characteristic analysis (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.846) showed that sensitivity and specificity of ABI values for PAD were 49.0 and 94.8%, respectively. An ABI cut-off value of 1.05 resulted in the best sensitivity (74.5%) and specificity (84.4%). There was a significant difference in sensitivity of ABI levels <0.9 for detecting PAD among patients in different brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity quartiles. In patients with the highest brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity quartile, PAD was most prevalent (46.5%), and ABI had the highest accuracy in detecting PAD (area under the curve, 0.933). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that duplex ultrasonography was a useful tool for screening asymptomatic PAD among hemodialysis patients and that the diagnostic value of ABI for PAD was affected by various factors. |
