Coronary Artery Calcification Predicts Microcalcificaion of Vascular Access in Hemodialysis Patients
Background: We have reported that arterial micro-calcification (AMC) of vascular access has a negative impact on access patency and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Because AMC is diagnosed by histologic examination, it cannot be commonly performed. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is quite common and known risk factors of cardiovascular mortality in HD patients. It ca...
متن کاملEvaluation of Vitamin D Level and its Correlation to Vascular Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients
Introduction: Compared with the general population, hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of vascular calcification, which in turn is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Regarding the role of vitamin D in bone formation, regulation of calcium, phosphate and iPTH level and correlation of these variables in survival, this study was performed to evaluate the vitamin D serum level...
متن کاملVascular calcification, cardiovascular risk and arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients
Intimal and medial calcification, the two main types of arterial calcification, are associated, respectively, with arteriosclerosis and mediosclerosis. In non-dialysis patients, both intimal1 and medial calcification2 may be the result of an active regulated process with different aetiologies, where local cells, such as macrophages in the intima or vascular smooth cells in the media, differenti...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcification, cardiovascular events, and death: a prospective cohort study of incident patients on hemodialysis
BACKGROUND Coronary calcification in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death from all causes. Previous evidence has been limited by short follow-up periods and inclusion of a heterogeneous cluster of events in the primary analyses. OBJECTIVE To describe coronary calcification in patients incident to ESRD, and to id...
متن کاملScreening of vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Vascular calcification (VC) is very common in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and it is becoming more prevalent with the worsening of kidney function and CKD duration. VC is associated with many adverse clinical outcomes, including ischemic cardiac events and subsequent vascular mortality (1). VC is usually seen in aging, after vascular inju...
