Relation Between Renal Function Within the Normal Range and Central and Peripheral Arterial Stiffness in Hypertension

Chronic kidney disease is accompanied by increased large-artery stiffness, but the relation between glomerular filtration rate within the reference range and central or peripheral arterial stiffness has been understudied. The link between renal function and arterial stiffness was assessed in 305 pat...

Zusammenfassung:Chronic kidney disease is accompanied by increased large-artery stiffness, but the relation between glomerular filtration rate within the reference range and central or peripheral arterial stiffness has been understudied. The link between renal function and arterial stiffness was assessed in 305 patients with never-treated essential hypertension (men58%; age48±11 years, blood pressure151/95±20/11 mm Hg), free from overt cardiovascular disease and with serum creatinine values
