Dysregulated iron metabolism has been suspected to be linked to anemia of chronic disease and to cardiovascular disease (CVD). For the purpose of clarifying the factors affecting arterial stiffness, we evaluated the relationship between iron metabolism, brachial-ankle (ba)-pulse wave velocity (PWV) and several risk factors for CVD in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
