Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and need for early renal replacement therapy (RRT) in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A total of 112 patients (62% men) with pre-dialysis CKD, seen in the outpatient clinic, were included, and ABI was obtained as per standard protocol. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was defined as ABI 1.3 in either leg. The clinical data were analyzed, and the risk factors for early RRT were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of PAD was 44% in predialysis CKD patients. Over three years’ follow- up, 14.2% required RRT; 11.3% developed major cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, stroke, or death). A total of 26 events occurred. The incidence of all events was significantly higher in patients with abnormal ABI than in those with normal ABI (34.7% vs. 12.7%; log rank P = 0.02). PAD was associated with all events [hazard ratio (HR): 2.72; 95% CI: 1.04-7.17; P = 0.042] as also the need for RRT (HR 3.2; 95% Cl: 1.005-10.23; P = 0.049), on univariate cox proportional hazard analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for other risk factors identified that PAD remained an independent predictor for the need for early RRT (HR: 12.2; 95%Cl: 2.2-66.5; P = 0.004) and all events (HR: 3.5; 95% Cl: 0.9-13.5; P = 0.032). PAD was an independent predictor for RRT requirement in predialysis CKD. |
