Ambulatory arterial stiffness index among children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease: a report from the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between the ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and hypertensive status, as well as identify additional predictors of AASI, in children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Their findings revealed that AASI is significantly associated with masked hypertension and body mass index, suggesting that AASI could serve as a valuable non-invasive measure of vascular stiffness in this population.
