Abstract
Background and Aims : Arterial stiffness predicting future cardiovascular disease. Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was independently associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a marker of arteriosclerotic disease and is associated with cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between serum Lp(a) levels and arterial stiffness measuring by CAVI in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
