This feasibility study investigated the intraobserver reliability and reproducibility
of the validated Diabetic Foot Screening Tool to detect evidence of peripheral
neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease in a homogenous sample of end-stage
renal disease patients on haemodialysis therapy without a concomitant diagnosis of
diabetes. Findings suggest that the Diabetic Foot Screening Tool reliably discriminated
between end-stage renal disease patients presenting with and those without evidence
of lower-limb-threatening risk factors. Further study is needed to determine whether
these findings can be applied in the wider context of the haemodialysis population.
