Key result
Geriatric CKD is linked to ~28% greater carotid IMT and worse arterial stiffness.
Why the study?
Chronic kidney disease is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease characterized by arteriosclerosis and increased arterial stiffness, but changes in arterial stiffness parameters in geriatric chronic kidney disease patients needed to be shown.
Does chronic kidney disease affect sonographic arterial stiffness parameters in the geriatric population?
Cohort (n=88)
No
Does chronic kidney disease affect sonographic arterial stiffness parameters in the geriatric population?
In a geriatric population, chronic kidney disease is associated with lower body mass index and higher systolic blood pressure, which may correlate with changes in arterial stiffness.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May indicate need for vascular monitoring in geriatric CKD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Doğan et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Chronic kidney disease (n=88). Chronic kidney disease vs. Healthy control group was evaluated on Carotid artery intima-media thickness (mm) (p=<0.001). Chronic kidney disease in geriatric patients was associated with higher carotid artery intima-media thickness and worse arterial stiffness compared to healthy controls.
