Abstract
Kidney dysfunction was independently associated with future PAD risk, particularly when assessed with cystatin C and B2M. Among the BMM markers tested, phosphorus was most robustly associated with incident PAD beyond kidney function. Our results suggest the potential usefulness of novel filtration markers for PAD risk assessment and the possible role of phosphorus in the pathophysiology of PAD.
