OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the prognostic value of the 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 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. METHOD PD patients who received both abdominal CT and echocardiography were divided into a low-ACI group (n=46) and a high-ACI group (n=46). RESULTS During follow-up (median, 35.2 months; range, 3.6-111.3), 30 patients (32.6%) died and 10 patients (10.9%) developed nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events. The 5-year event-free survival rates for mortality and nonfatal CV events were significantly lower in the high-ACI group compared with those in the low-ACI group (35.7% vs. 64.1%, P = 0.01). The ACI was positively correlated with left atrial diameter and ratio of peak early transmitral flow velocity to peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/E' ratio; a marker of left ventricular diastolic function). Using multivariate analyses, the high-ACI group (vs. low-ACI group, HR 5.25, 95% CI 1.77-15.58, P = 0.003) and increased E/E' ratio (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.03-1.31, P = 0.013) were independent predictors for mortality and CV events. The ACI provided a higher predictive value for adverse outcomes (AUC = 0.755, P = 0.002) than the E/E' ratio (AUC = 0.543, P = 0.61). CONCLUSION The ACI was significantly associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and predicted all-cause mortality and nonfatal CV events in PD patients.

Association Between Low T3 Syndrome and Arterial Stiffness in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Methods: We determined the levels of serum soluble Klotho in 58 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients using ELISA and investigated the relationship between the level of Klotho and markers of CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) and the abdominal aortic calcification score (AAC), a marker of vascular calcification. Results: Fifty CAPD patients (86.2%) had abdominal aortic ...

Abdominal 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...

Are we overconcerned about secondary hyperparathyroidism and underestimating the more common secondary hypoparathyroidism in our dialysis patients?

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of hyper and hypo-parathyroid state in prevalent dialysis patients. The second part of the study was to look for the prevalence of vascular calcification (abdominal aortic) and factors predicting calcification in these patients. METHODS All adult patients, who were more than 1 month on dialysis, were included in the study. A tota...

Progression of Aortic Arch Calcification Over 1 Year Is an Independent Predictor of Mortality in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS The presence and progression of vascular calcification have been demonstrated as important risk factors for mortality in dialysis patients. However, since the majority of subjects included in most previous studies were hemodialysis patients, limited information was available in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the preval...

Cardiac valve calcification as an important predictor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients: a prospective study.

Calcification complications are frequent among long-term dialysis patients. However, the prognostic implication of cardiac valve calcification in this population is not known. This study aimed to determine if cardiac valve calcification predicts mortality in long-term dialysis patients. Baseline echocardiography was performed in 192 patients (mean +/- SD age, 55 +/- 12 yr) on continuous ambulat...
