The Burden of Peripheral Artery Occlusion Disease and Associated Factors in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

The Burden of Peripheral Artery Occlusion Disease and Associated Factors in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

The investigators want to evaluate the burden of peripheral artery occlusion disease in Taiwan peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients by using ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) and toe-brachial pressure index (TBI). Furthermore, the investigators hope to demonstrate the possible casual factors of peripheral artery occlusion disease (PAOD) in PD patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Receive stable peritoneal dialysis patients for more than 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active infection, malignancy and recent hospitalization
