INTRODUCTION:: Peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD) has been reported to be prevalent in hemodialysis patients and influence their mortality. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 is a reliable marker for PAOD. The aims of the 2-year longitudinal study were to assess whether there was a progression in PAOD and to find out the determinants of ABI progression in hemodialysis patients. METHODS:: This study enrolled 237 routine hemodialysis patients and 154 patients completed the 2-year follow-up. The ABI was measured by an ABI-form device at baseline and at the first and second year follow-up. The change in ABI (ΔABI) was defined as ABI measured at the second year follow-up minus ABI measured at baseline. RESULTS:: The prevalence of ABI <0.9 increased yearly (10.4%, 22.7% and 27.9%, respectively; P < 0.001) and the values of ABI decreased yearly (1.11 ± 0.16, 0.97 ± 0.17 and 0.96 ± 0.19, respectively; P < 0.001) in the 154 follow-up patients. Multiple stepwise analysis identified fasting glucose level, calcium-phosphorous product, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and homocysteine level as independent determinants of ΔABI. CONCLUSIONS:: Our results demonstrated the prevalence of PAOD increased and the values of ABI decreased yearly in hemodialysis patients. The ABI progression was associated with high fasting glucose level, high calcium-phosphorous product, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and low homocysteine levels. |
