Role of Ankle-Brachial Index Measured with Simple Automated Blood Pressure Devices in Predicting the Postoperative Kidney Functions in Non-Cardiac Patients with Low Renal Risk

Abstract

Objective: Ankle-brachial index indirectly shows subclinical atherosclerosis in extremity vessels. No study investigated the role of ankle-brachial index measured with simple automated devices in the prediction of postoperative acute kidney injury in non-cardiac surgery patients with a low risk of acute kidney injury.
