| Abstract | Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A common observation in both CKD and cardiovascular disease is increased arterial stiffness. Although many studies have focussed on patients with advanced CKD or established cardiovascular disease, relatively few studies have investigated whether increased arterial stiffness is predictive of renal damage in a less selected primary-care population. Objective In this study, we aimed to investigate whether increased arterial stiffness is associated with impaired renal function in a primary care population without overt CKD. Design and method We performed a cross sectional analysis of data from the HIPPOCRATES-study, a study investigating hypertension and cardiovascular complications in a primary care population. Carotid-femoral Pulse-Wave Velocity (cfPWV), blood-pressure measurements and laboratory data were available. The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Cockroft-Gault formula, adjusted for the Body Surface Area. Results We studied 587 patients (283 males). The mean age of the population was 61.1 ± 10.6years. The mean GFR was 69.8 ±15.6 ml/min. In a linear regression model unadjusted for age the mean CF-PWV was inversely associated with GFR. (ß −0.16; p<0.0001). However, this relationship did not persist after correction for age. Body-mass index was an independent determinant of eGFR in both models. Conclusion In a primary care population carotid-femoral PWV is significantly associated with decreased kidney function, however this effect is mainly determined by age and body-mass index. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
