Vascular calcification is associated with decreased survival in chronic kidney disease
patients. Understanding the causes and regulatory factors controlling vascular calcification …

Valvular calcification is common in the setting of end-stage kidney disease and is associated
with increased risks for cardiovascular disease events. It is unknown whether the prevalence …

Objective To explore the relationship between serum phosphate, arterial stiffness and left
ventricular mass (LVM) in patients with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Design A …

Background. Abdominal aortic calcification is a common complication and a predictor of
cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. However, abdominal aortic calcification in pre …

Background The relationship between vascular calcification and chronic kidney disease is
well known. However, whether vascular calcification affects renal function deterioration …

Background Increased arterial stiffness and vascular calcification have been recognized as
important predictors of cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease …

Hyperphosphatemia is present in most patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) and
has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Phosphate binders (calcium …

Background In patients on maintenance dialysis, cardiovascular mortality risk is remarkably
high, which can be partly explained by severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) …

Abstract Background and Aim: Due to increasing evidence suggesting a link between
hyperphosphatemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD), mediated through vascular …

Background Arterial stiffness has been associated with renal dysfunction and its
progression, but the pathophysiological relation underlying this association has not been …
