...) for the primary outcome. Moreover, high activin levels were significantly associated with 1.56-fold higher CACS (95% CI, 1.12–2.18). Conclusion: Post-transplant activin levels were independently associated with allograft functions as well as coronary artery calcification in KT patients. [email protected]...

..., and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) on coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression and mortality in incident dialysis patients without prior coronary events. Methods: A prospective cohort of incident adult dialysis participants had CAC measured by ECG-triggered multislice CT scans...

... calcification is promoted by phosphate, which generally reaches higher levels in hemodialysis than in peritoneal dialysis. However, whether vascular calcification develops less in peritoneal dialysis than in hemodialysis is currently unknown. Therefore, we compared coronary artery calcification (CAC), its...
