J Heart Valve Dis, 2009•academia.eduMethods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 135 patients with CKD (mean age 52±11
years) included 58 pre-dialysis patients, 36 dialysis patients, and 41 renal transplant
recipients. A control group of 58 subjects was also examined. The characteristics of valvular
calcification were assessed using transthoracic echocardiography. Results: The combined
prevalences of mitral or aortic valve calcification were 31% in pre-dialysis patients, 50% in
dialysis patients, 29% in renal transplant recipients, and 12% in controls (p= 0.001). The …

Results: The combined prevalences of mitral or aortic valve calcification were 31% in pre-dialysis patients, 50% in dialysis patients, 29% in renal transplant recipients, and 12% in controls (p= 0.001). The prevalences of mitral annular calcification were 17%, 31%, 27% and 2%, respectively (p= 0.001). In multivariate analysis, the risk factors for valvular calcification in
