Cardiovascular disease is common in patients with renal disease, but little is known about the effect of renal disease and loss of renal function on vascular morphology. Intima proliferation of small renal arteries, which correlates with atherosclerosis in the aorta, is sometimes present in renal disease and has been shown to increase with age and hypertension. We studied the effect of chronic renal disease and renal function, independent of hypertension, on intima proliferation.
