Özet

Objective: Worldwide, over 200 million people are diagnosed with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). LEAD significantly increases the risk of death and amputation of the lower limb. A new classification system (WIfI) has been proposed to initially assess all patients with ischemic rest pain or wounds and also predicts 1-year amputation risk. Elabela is a bioactive peptide and a part of the apelinergic system, which has beneficial effects on body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular health. We aimed to investigate serum Elabela levels in LEAD.
