Introduction: Although atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular risks are known to increase in patients with end-stage renal disease, it is not clear whether these risks increase in the geriatric patient population as well. This study aims to evaluate these risks in geriatric patients with end-stage renal disease by evaluating epicardial fat and carotid and femoral intima-media thicknesses, known as markers, for subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risks.
