  1. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Intact PTH is expressed as median and interquartile range. The values are compared between the groups by the chi-square test, t-test and Mann–Whitney U test as appropriate. *, p<0.05.
  2. Abbreviations: ABI, ankle-brachial index; High-ABI group, group of patients with high ABI (ABI>0.9); Low-ABI group, group of patients with low ABI (0.9 or low); BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; CVD, cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular disease; PTH, parathyroid hormone; PD, peritoneal dialysis; D/P Cr, dialysate/plasma creatinine ratio.
