Relationship between Arterial Stiffness and Renal Function Determined by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Equations in a Chinese Cohort Undergoing Health Examination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in CKD and ESRD patients is well established. However, the relationship between renal function estimation and properties of large arteries is unclear due to the four different methods used to quantify glomerular filtration. This study investigated the relationship between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-fPWV), as a measure of arterial stiffness, and accepted metrics of renal function.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in 431 health examination individuals in China, enrolled from January 2017 to June 2019. c-fPWV and blood pressure were measured, and blood samples were obtained for all participants. Four different methods were used to determine the estimated glomerular filtrati
