[Vascular calcification in CKD].
As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) constituem a principal causa de mortalidade em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC).1 O risco de óbito por DCV nessa população chega a ser 10 a 30 vezes maior que aquele observado na população geral. Esse aumento da mortalidade também ocorre em pacientes nos estágios precoces da DRC,2 assim como naqueles submetidos a transplante renal.3 A alta prevalência d...
متن کاملSerum calcification propensity predicts all-cause mortality in predialysis CKD.
Medial arterial calcification is accelerated in patients with CKD and strongly associated with increased arterial rigidity and cardiovascular mortality. Recently, a novel in vitro blood test that provides an overall measure of calcification propensity by monitoring the maturation time (T50) of calciprotein particles in serum was described. We used this test to measure serum T50 in a prospective...
متن کاملA current understanding of vascular calcification in CKD.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that is in part due to the development of vascular calcification. Vascular calcification is an active, highly regulated process that shares many similarities with normal bone formation. New discoveries related to extracellular vesicles, microRNAs, and calciprotei...
متن کاملVascular calcification in animal models of CKD: A review.
Vascular calcification is a significant contributor to the cardiovascular mortality observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review discusses the animal models (5/6 nephrectomy, mouse electrocautery model and dietary adenine) that have been employed in the study of vascular calcification outcomes in CKD. Rodent models of CKD generate a range of severity in the vascular calcification pheno...
متن کاملEstrogen inhibits vascular calcification via vascular RANKL system: common mechanism of osteoporosis and vascular calcification.
RATIONALE Arterial calcification and osteoporosis are associated in postmenopausal women. RANK (the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB), RANKL (RANK ligand), and osteoprotegerin are key proteins in bone metabolism and have been found at the site of aortic calcification. The role of these proteins in vasculature, as well as the contribution of estrogen to vascular calcification, is poor...
