CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds of the abdomen to examine other medical conditions. These can include pregnancy, reproductive issues, and even constipation. Though they are not linked to an abdominal aortic aneurysm, they can help discover the condition, allowing for careful monitoring of the probl...
Risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm was positively associated with age [relative risk (RR) = 4.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.42-8.61 for >65 vs ≤55 years], smoking years (RR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.33-3.81 for >40 vs ≤32 years), systolic blood pressure (RR = 1.92, 95% CI...
Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We investigated this association between Hcy levels in patients with AAA and unaffected controls by conducting a meta-analysis and systematic ...
Objective Low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) increases the risk of arterial diseases, possibly including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study explored the relationship between eGFR (2008 CKD-EPI equation), annual eGFR decline, and subsequent risk of developing AAA in a large, com...
