چکیده
358 Nefrologia 2011;31(3):358-78 We spontaneously studied a non-selected population that attended the WKD marquee in the city centre. The following measurements were taken: anthropometrics, blood pressure (Omron), glucose (Reflotron) and creatinine (Reflotron) rates, intima-media thickness (IMT) measured by ultrasound of the supra-aortic trunks (LOGIQ, 12MHz probe), taken from the posterior wall and from an area free from atheromatous plaques. An arteriosclerosis score was used (AS): AS 1: ITM<0.8; AS 2: ITM>0.8; AS 3: ITM><0.8 with plaques.
