Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diabetes-associated chronic renal failure (CRF) on the severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) using angiography. Material-Method: The angiographic images of 154 diabetic patients who have undergone balloon angioplasty were examined. Patients were divided into two groups of CRF and non-CRF. PAD severity was determined based on the angiographic images using the Bollinger score system. PAD severity was compared in the lower limb arteries of both groups. Results: In the study group, 90(58%) patients had only diabetes mellitus (DM), and 64 (42%) had DM and associated CRF. The mean of total, infrapopliteal and suprapopliteal level angiogram scoring of patients with DM and CRF and were 39.42 (std±8.96), 32.69 (std±7.73), 6.67(std±3.09), and with only DM were 31.9 (std±6.45), 28.4(std±6.4), 3.5(std± 2.45), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean total and suprapopliteal level angiogram scoring of the two groups (p:0.003, p: 0.008). Conclusion: This angiographic study confirms that the PAD severity at lower extremity arteries in patients with DM and CRF is significantly more than in patients with DM without CRF.
