Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity as a Novel Modality for Detecting Early Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Figure 2

ROC curve for the ability of baPWV to detect DN. The area under the ROC curve was 0.946, with a 95% CI of 0.908–0.983, indicating that baPWV measurement is an effective method for the detection of EDN. The optimal cut-off value of baPWV was 1716 cm/s, with a sensitivity of 91.7% and a specificity of 81.7%.
