Background. Vascular calcification and arterial stiffening are independent predictors of all
causes and cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Few data are currently …

Calcification and cardiovascular problems in renal failure. Extraosseus calcification has
plagued management of renal failure since the beginning of hemodialysis, but the issue has …

Phosphate levels are consistently linked with cardiac calcification, cardiovascular disease
(CVD), and death in populations with chronic kidney disease. In addition, mechanistic …

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

Background. Vascular calcification is common and associated with unfavorable outcomes
among patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Nevertheless, little is known whether …

Abstract Background: Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) has been linked to vascular
calcification, ventricular hypertrophy and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD), although …

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

Vascular calcification contributes to the high risk of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients. Dysregulation of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) metabolism is …

VASCULAR calcification, specifically arte-rial calcification, has been recognized for many
years as a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). 1-3 The mechanisms …

Background/Aim: The aim of the present study was to quantitatively examine factors
associated with aortic calcification in non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods: We quantitatively …
