Vascular calcification is clinically important, because it predicts a higher risk of
cardiovascular event. Its pathogenesis involve atherosclerosis and regulated by mechanism …

Background/Aims: Presence and progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) indicate
severe atherosclerosis and predict cardiovascular events (CVE) in dialysis (ESRD patients) …

Background and objectives: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent among
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it has been described as a strong predictor …

Background: In patients on dialysis coronary artery calcification (CAC) rapidly proceeds due
to impaired mineral metabolism and/or exogenous calcium load. Progression has not been …

Background: Patients on dialysis are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The presence of vascular calcification (VC) is predictive of CVD and mortality. This study …

Background A better understanding of the pathophysiology involving coronary artery
calcification (CAC) in patients on hemodialysis (HD) will help to develop new therapies. We …

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery calcification has been associated with higher mortality in
coronary artery disease and chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to correlate coronary …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a major health‐care problem of global
proportions. Progression to end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), the need for renal …

Objective: This paper was written to systematically review and meta-analyze the evidence
on the efficacy of lanthanum carbonate (LC) and calcium carbonate (CC) and the risk of …

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in hemodialysis (HD)
patients. Vascular calcification (VC) is common in these patients. The main objective of this …
