Vascular calcifications: pathogenesis, management, and impact on clinical outcomes.
The predisposition to vascular calcifications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has gained great interest in recent years as many studies have described its likely impact on morbidity and mortality. The mechanism by which the process of vascular calcification is produced is complex, and it does not consist in a simple precipitation of calcium and phosphate but is instead an active a...
متن کاملVascular calcifications in chronic kidney disease--clinical management.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients could present various types of calcifications causing different pathological conditions that would contribute to the renal disease progression and high risk of mortality. Extra-skeletal calcifications represent a common consequence of mineral bone disorders in CKD patients. Vascular calcifications represent a complex systemic manifestation caused by phospho...
متن کاملMyelofibrosis-associated complications: pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and effects on outcomes
Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare chronic BCR-ABL1 (breakpoint cluster region-Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homologue 1)-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by progressive bone marrow fibrosis, inefficient hematopoiesis, and shortened survival. The clinical manifestations of MF include splenomegaly, consequent to extramedullary hematopoiesis, cytopenias, and an array of poten...
متن کاملChikungunya: Molecular Aspects, Clinical Outcomes and Pathogenesis.

متن کاملVascular and Valvular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease: Pathogenesis and Clinical Outcomes
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two to four times as likely to have cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general population, when adjusted for traditional CVD risk factors [1]. CVD is the leading cause of death in these patients, with vascular and valvular calcification being an integral part of its pathophysiology. Calcium phosphate crystals are deposited through a multi...
