Background Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular
mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are limited prospective data …

Background: Factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. The impact of vascular disease on CKD …

Background. Vascular calcification (VC) and arterial stiffness are major contributors to
cardiovascular (CV) disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both are independent …

The increased cardiovascular risk of chronic kidney disease may in part be the
consequence of arterial stiffness, a typical feature of kidney failure. Deranged homeostasis …

Background Early chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased
cardiovascular (CV) risk but underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. Arterial stiffness (AS) …

Background: Vascular stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. This study
aimed to identify factors associated with vascular stiffness in a cohort of chronic kidney …

Background Serum fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is associated with cardiovascular
disease (CVD), yet the mechanisms remain uncertain. Our objective was to determine …

BACKGROUND Our aims were to assess whether arterial stiffness is associated with a
higher risk for kidney dysfunction among persons without chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and arterial stiffness are associated with
increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Inflammation is proposed to have a role in …

The hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is involved in mineral homeostasis but may
also have a role in vascular calcification and bone mineralization. In a cohort of 142 patients …
