Core Tip	Chronic kidney disease patients are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, traditional risk factors cannot fully predict the incidence of CVD. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a strong predictor of CVD. There is evidence of a relationship between dialysis modality and cIMT. In this study, peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were shown to have lower cIMT than HD, making it a preferred option for patients with end-stage renal disease in the context of CVD risk. This may be due to better preservation of residual kidney function, no exposure to dialysis membranes, and the absence of hemodynamic fluctuations in PD patients.
