Key result
In stable peritoneal dialysis patients, mean common carotid artery intima-media thickness increased from 0.66 mm to 0.76 mm over 1 year (P<0.001), with age independently associated with progression.
Cohort (n=61)
p-value: p=<0.001
In stable peritoneal dialysis patients, common carotid artery intima-media thickness significantly increases over 1 year, with age being the only independent predictor of progression in multivariable analysis despite univariate associations with inflammatory markers.

Progression of carotid intima-media thickness in peritoneal dialysis patients should not yet change practice; leaves open age-specific preventive strategies.
Stompór et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (n=61). Peritoneal dialysis was evaluated on Changes in common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) (p=<0.001). In stable peritoneal dialysis patients, mean common carotid artery intima-media thickness increased from 0.66 mm to 0.76 mm over 1 year (P<0.001), with age independently associated with progression.
