Hemodialyzed patients (HD) have high prevalence of peripheral arterial disease. In the general population, lipoprotein‐associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2) is associated with peripheral arterial disease but no data are available for renal subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation...
