Background. Atherosclerosis and vascular calcifications are common causes of morbidity
and mortality in maintenance haemodialysis patients. In addition to the well-known …

Background. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are highly prevalent in haemodialysis
(HD) patients and have been recently associated with vascular calcifications. The objective …

Background: Vascular calcification has been associated with all cause and cardiovascular

stage renal disease (ESRD) and have been associated with increased cardiovascular …

Results Cardiovascular risk factors were predominantly found in controls, although the
burden of atherosclerosis was higher in the dialysis group. VC was significantly more …

Background. Coronary artery calcification scores (CACS) calculated by electron beam
computed tomography (EBCT) have been correlated with atherosclerotic burden in the non …

Vascular calcification has now been recognized as a major problem in dialysis patients
because of its strong influence on the prognosis. Along with the regulatory failure of …

Background Vascular calcification is a feature of arteriosclerosis. In hemodialysis (HD)
patients, vascular calcification progresses rapidly. This study used the aortic calcification …
