Association between mortality and abdominal aortic calcification and their progression in hemodialysis patients
Recent reports suggest that cardiovascular (CV) events are associated with vascular calcification (VC) on plain radiographs. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommends that lateral abdominal radiography can be used to detect the presence or absence of VC [1]. A previous report showed that an abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) score of Z7 on lateral abdominal radiography was w...
متن کاملSerum S100A12 and Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification Over 4 Years in Hemodialysis Patients.
BACKGROUND/AIM Vascular calcification is common and contributes to increased cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the associations of serum S100A12 in the presence of severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the progression of CAC in HD patients. METHODS Sixty maintenance HD patients and 30 controls were enrolled. Ser...
متن کاملAbdominal aortic calcification in patients with CKD
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is independently associated with cardiovascular events in dialysis patients and in the general population. However, data in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are limited. We analyzed determinants and prognostic value of AAC in non-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS We included patients with CKD not receiving renal replacement therap...
متن کاملCirculating growth arrest-specific protein 6 levels are associated with erythropoietin resistance in hemodialysis patients
Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) works synergistically with erythropoietin (EPO) to increase the proliferation and maturation of erythroblasts. However, the role of Gas 6 levels on EPO resistance in hemodialysis (HD) patients remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was the first to examine the correlation between plasma Gas6 levels and EPO resistance in HD patients. We en...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Calcification is Associated with Diastolic Dysfunction, Mortality, and Nonfatal Cardiovascular Events in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
This study evaluated the significance of aortic calcification index (ACI), an estimate of abdominal aortic calcification by plain abdominal computed tomography (CT), in terms of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, mortality, and nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events in chronic hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients who took both an abdominal CT and echocardiography were divided int...
