Radial augmentation index may be an effective predictor of vascular calcification in patients on peritoneal dialysis

Radial augmentation index may be an effective predictor of vascular calcification in patients on peritoneal dialysis

Vascular calcification (VC) is an important promoter of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several indices can be used to evaluate VC, including the abdominal aortic calcification index (AACI) and carotid artery intima–media thickness (IMT); however, simple...
