The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and the critical limb ischemia (CLI) are frequent and serious pathologies in dialysis, in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, and represent serious clinical and social problems. Patients having serious trophic injuries often have to recur to amputation, despite the use of all the therapies that are currently available. In this article we attempt to underline the importance of the microcirculation and rheopheresis in affecting the prognosis of this pathology.
