Aortic Aneurysms in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Rare Duo – Series of Six Cases

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Aortic aneurysms are permanent dilatation of the aorta and occur predominantly in the infrarenal and proximal aorta. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial disease, and environmental and genetic factors do play a role in its development. They are generally asymptomatic; however, their progressive enlargement increases the risk of rupture. Besides traditional risk factors, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of AAA. We present six cases of AAA in patients with CKD.
