Vascular calcification in chronic haemodialysis patients.
Vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease was mentioned for the first time in the 19 century when Virchow described the appearance of metastatic calcification in patients with kidney failure. The subject has gained great interest in recent years as many studies described that a high percentage of patients on chronic haemodialysis show vascular calcification, the extent of w...
متن کاملFactors involved in vascular calcification and atherosclerosis in maintenance haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis and vascular calcifications are common causes of morbidity and mortality in maintenance haemodialysis patients. In addition to the well-known traditional risk factors, uraemia-specific factors appear to enhance dramatically the progression of the pathological processes involved. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the degree of atherosclerosis and vascular ca...
متن کاملDeterminants of progressive vascular calcification in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND We determined recently that targeted treatment with calcium-based phosphate binders (calcium acetate and carbonate) led to progressive coronary artery and aortic calcification by electron beam tomography (EBT), while treatment with the non-calcium-containing phosphate binder, sevelamer, did not. Aside from the provision of calcium, we hypothesized that other factors might be related ...
متن کاملEffects of cinacalcet on vascular calcification in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The ADVANCE (A Randomized Study to Evaluate the Effects of Cinacalcet plus Low-Dose Vitamin D on Vascular Calcification in Subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving Haemodialysis) Study objective is to assess the effect of cinacalcet plus low-dose active vitamin D versus flexible dosing of active vitamin D on progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in haemodialysis pa...
متن کاملHaemoglobin level and vascular access survival in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND A full correction of anaemia in haemodialysis (HD) patients may lead to an increased risk of vascular access (VA) failure. We studied the relationship between haemoglobin (Hb) level and VA survival. METHODS Incident patients between January 2000 and December 2002 with <1 month on HD were considered. The relative risk (RR) of access failure was evaluated in four different groups of ...
