Related iron and vitamin body stores have seldom been assessed in patients with peripheral arterial disease.ReportWe retrospectively analysed basal prevalence of anaemia, iron, B12-vitamin and folic acid deficits in 420 patients with claudication and 204 patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI). The prevalence of the evaluated parameters was 9.8%, 6.7%, 6.7% and 2.9% among patients with claudication but 49.5%, 31.9%, 15.7% and 6.4% among CLI patients, respectively (p
