Increasing Awareness for Peripheral Artery Disease through the Identification of Novel Biomarkers.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a chronic atherosclerotic disorder that involves the lower extremity arteries, manifesting in claudication, rest pain, and tissue loss [[1]]. 10.1038/s41598-021-90395-0. 34040076 40 Li B., Zamzam A., Syed M.H., Jahanpour N., Jain S., Abdin R., Qadura M. Urinary Fatty Acid Binding Protein 3 (UFABP3) Has Diagnostic and Prognostic Value in Peripheral Artery Disease. This blood- and urine-based biomarker was demonstrated to be independently associated with the diagnosis of PAD and the prognosis of PAD-related adverse events, including major amputation and the need for surgical intervention [[38], [40]].
