Why the study?
Arteriosclerosis is a key pathological mechanism in diabetic kidney disease, but the relationship between estimated pulse wave velocity and diabetic kidney disease had not been studied.

ePWV may mark DKD in diabetes; hypothesis-generating cross-sectional data leaves open prospective validation.
Is estimated pulse wave velocity associated with the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes?
Higher estimated pulse wave velocity is independently associated with an increased prevalence of diabetic kidney disease in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.
Wei et al. (2025) studied this question.
