To determine the safety of low-calcium-dialysate in patients undergoing maintenance
hemodialysis (MHD) and its effects on coronary artery calcification (CAC) and analyze …

Background The association between the dialysate calcium level and coronary artery
calcification (CAC) has not yet been evaluated in hemodialysis patients. The objective of this …

Background The optimal dialysate calcium (Ca) concentration for patients undergoing
hemodialysis remains inconclusive, particularly concerning cardiovascular protection …

Hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis
(MHD) can cause the progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and mineral bone …

Introduction The concentration of dialysate calcium (dCa) has been suggested to affect
vascular calcification, but evidence is scarce. Calcification propensity reflects the intrinsic …

Background and Objectives: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is associated with future
cardiovascular events and/or death of patients on hemodialysis (HD). We investigated …

In addition to the well-known traditional risk factors, uremia-related so-called novel risk
factors and medications appear to affect coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis …

Introduction Coronary artery calcification and cardiac abnormalities are common in
hemodialysis patients. The value of lanthanum carbonate over calcium‐based phosphate …

Calcium balance during hemodialysis (HD) is important in determining short‐term
cardiovascular function, this influences the hemodynamic tolerability of dialysis. In the longer …

Background Hemodialysis (HD) tend to have more hemodynamic changes than peritoneal
dialysis (PD), which aggravates inflammation and oxidative stress. Whether HD and PD …
