Digital microvascular reactivity does not decline with impaired renal function in chronic kidney disease

Abstract Background The reactive hyperemia index (RHI), measured by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), is a novel measurement of endothelial function and has been proven to be valuable in cardiovascular risk stratification in several populations. The current study aims to explore its relation to r...
