Abstract:
Objective To explore the utility of CT for the evaluation of abdominal aortic calcification(AAC)in chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods Laboratory examination indexes and abdominal plain CT imaging of 132 CKD stage 3-5 patients were analyzed retrospectively.The ACC score was evaluated according to quantitative method,the risk factors related to AAC were analyzed.Results In correlation analyses,AAC score was positively correlated with creatinine(Cr)level,CO2 combining power(P＜0.05),and negatively corrected with albumin(ALB).Logistic regression analysis showed that Cr level were risk factors for AAC,and ALB were protective factors.Conclusion Based on abdominal plain CT images,Cr level,CO2 combining power and ALB level are related to AAC.Quantitative method based on CT has a high application value in evaluating AAC.
