Background: Vascular calcification is believed to have a crucial role in the excess
cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) …

Vascular calcification is very common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and
has been found to be associated with mineral and bone disorders. There are two types of …

Vascular calcification is the most common type of extra-osseous calcification in end-stage
renal disease (ESRD), manifesting as both medial and intimal calcification of large arteries …

Recent evidence suggests that uremic vascular calcification is an active, cell-mediated
process resembling osteogenesis in bone rather than passive precipitation. We identified …

Vascular calcification is an active, cell‐mediated process that can involve either the intima or
media of the blood vessels. The current methods used to clinically measure vascular …

Pathophysiological mechanisms of vascular calcification in end-stage renal disease.
Vascular calcification has been clearly defined as a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in …

Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Vascular calcification is a common complication in CKD, and investigators …

The prevalence and extent of vascular calcification (VC) increases rapidly with time on
dialysis. There is increasing evidence that medial calcification of conduit arteries, without …

Soft-tissue and vascular calcification are highly prevalent in end-stage renal disease
(ESRD). Vascular calcifications manifest as both medial and intimal calcification of arteries …

Vascular calcification is an active, cell‐mediated process that results from an imbalance
