Abdominal aortic calcification is superior to other arteries calcification in predicting the mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients - a 8 years cohort study.

AAC was more common in PD patients and was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and CV mortality. The femoral artery calcification also can predict the mortality, but the calcification of iliac artery, radial artery, and finger arteries cannot predict the mortality of PD patients.
