Vascular calcification (VC), which is described in the elderly and in diabetics, is frequently
seen in uraemia. It is usually regarded as having little significance. We studied the …

Abstract Background. Vascular calcifications (VCs) are frequently observed in chronic
kidney disease (CKD) and haemodialysis (HD) patients. They have been associated with …

Vascular calcification in the uremic patient: A cardiovascular risk? Background Several
factors suggest that the presence of vascular calcification (VC) is associated with a high risk …

Results VC was present in 79% of patients and prominent in 47%(AS≥ 3 or KS> 6). Age
(odds ratio [OR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.02 to 1.07; P< 0.001) …

Background and objectives: Vascular calcification is increasingly recognized as an
important component of cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease. The objective of …

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) …

Background. Vascular calcification and arterial stiffening are independent predictors of all
causes and cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Few data are currently …

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

The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency and factors associated with the
progression of vascular calcifications (VCs) using a semiquantitative X-ray score. We …

Background: This multicenter international cross-sectional observational study characterized
vascular and valvular calcification burden and correlations with pulse pressure, diabetes …
