All-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients with heart valve calcification.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Calcification of the mitral and aortic valves is common in dialysis patients (CKD-5D). However, the prognostic significance of valvular calcification (VC) in CKD is not well established. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS 144 adult CKD-5D patients underwent bidimensional echocardiography for qualitative assessment of VC and cardiac computed tomography (CT)...
متن کاملSerum sclerostin levels, arteriovenous fistula calcification and 2-years all-cause mortality in prevalent hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Bone and mineral abnormalities, and cardiovascular calcification are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies have implicated Wnt signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of bone metabolism and vascular calcification. Sclerostin is a soluble inhibitor of Wnt signaling pathway and has been shown to be associated with...
متن کاملAortic arch calcification predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND/AIM Vascular calcification is associated with cardiovascular risk in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Previous reports have shown that simple assessment of aortic arch calcification (AoAC) using plain radiography is associated with cardiovascular mortality in the general population. We conducted a prospective study to investigate factors associated with the presence at baseli...
متن کاملCalcification of the aortic arch predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular calcification represents a marker of cardiovascular risk in chronic dialysis patients. In the general population, aortic arch calcification (AAC) can predict cardiovascular mortality. We conducted a prospective study to investigate factors associated with AAC in hemodialysis patients and examined its prognostic value in long-term outcome. METHODS A total of 712 hemod...
متن کاملAll-cause and cause-specific mortality associated with diabetes in prevalent hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND Diabetes is the most common risk factor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with increased risk of death. In order to better understand the influence of diabetes on outcomes in hemodialysis, we examine the risk of death of diabetic participants in the HEMODIALYSIS (HEMO) study. METHODS In the HEMO study, 823 (44.6%) participants were classified as diabetic. U...
