abstract：BACKGROUND:In this study, we focused on whether volume overload plays a role in the development of arterial stiffness. METHODS:Seventy-three prevalent hemodialysis patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Arterial stiffness was assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), and volume overload was as...
