Arterial Endothelial Function, Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness and Abdominal Aortic Calcification in Diabetic and Nondiabetic CKD stage 4-5 Patients not on Dialysis.
We aimed to study the effect of diabetes (DM) on endothelial dysfunction assessed by flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and abdominal aortic calcification score (AAC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4-5 patients not on dialysis.
