Trends and dynamics of changes in calcification score over the 1-year observation period in patients on peritoneal dialysis

Abstract: Chronic nonspecific inflammation does not directly attribute to progression in CaScs. Calcium-phosphate balance abnormalities appear to be the only important factors promoting CAC, although a permissive or promoting role of inflammation cannot be ruled out.

“…Previous studies have reported progressive CAC in 45-100% of subjects with ESRD over 11-22 months of follow-up ( Table 5); progression of CAC in 80% of our middle-aged diabetic subjects who progressed to ESRD are consistent with these findings (Table 5) [1,2,11,12]. The rate of progression in our study subjects that progressed to ESRD is also similar to that reported earlier (Table 5) [1,2,11,12].…”

“…The rate of progression in our study subjects that progressed to ESRD is also similar to that reported earlier (Table 5) [1,2,11,12]. Upon controlling for nephropathy status and progression to ESRD, serum creatinine emerged as a significant predictor of the magnitude of increase in CAC scores and there was a significant interaction between progression to ESRD and serum creatinine.…”

“…The incidence of medial calcification is markedly increased in patients with higher age, chronic kidney disease and diabetes [4,5,6]. While serum calcium and phosphate concentrations have been reported to correlate with the progression of vascular calcification in dialysis patients [7,8,9], they only partly account for vascular calcification. We previously reported that medial calcification of the hand arteries in hemodialysis patients is advanced in patients with higher age, longer hemodialysis duration, poor glycemic control, and increased inflammatory state [10,11].…”
