The prevalence and risk factors for renal artery stenosis (RAS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unclear in Japanese patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). To examine these issues, we performed renal angiography in 410 patients with PAD. Renal function and damage were assessed using th...
