In this study we measured the ankle to arm blood pressure index (AAI) as predictor of clinical atherosclerosis and assessed its relationship serum Lp(a) values among 60 renal transplant recipients. Materials Methods. After measuring AAI in recumbent position, factors including cholestrol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density cholesterol were by commercial kits 30 healthy subjects. Results analyzed using SPSS. Results. concentrations significantly higher recipients compared with control group (P .05). was similar between kidney controls, showing no significant correlation concentration AAI. Conclusion. Increased recipients, potent for atherosclerosis, not associated abnormal
