Cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated serum phosphorus levels, which
have been associated with cardiovascular mortality. This is commonly seen in the chronic …

Abstract Background and Aims: Calcium-containing phosphate binders have been shown to
increase the progression of vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients. This is a …

Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
increases mortality in those patients. Impaired calcium and phosphate homeostasis …

OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum phosphate concentrations are established risk factors for
cardiovascular disease and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Independent …

Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Nontraditional uremia-related risk factors as well as traditional risk factors …

Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in dialysis patients, and significantly increases
cardiovascular mortality. The presence and progression of vascular calcification is …

Medial arterial calcification (MAC) and renal osteodystrophy are complications of mineral
bone disease (MBD) associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our aim was to develop …

Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent in CKD and leads to increased vascular
stiffness and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors …

Background. The rate of decline in kidney function is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular
risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum phosphate and increased arterial …

Vascular calcification: A stiff challenge for the nephrologists—Does preventing bone disease
cause arterial disease? There has been an explosion of interest in vascular calcification in …
