Bone biomarkers help grading severity of coronary calcifications in non dialysis chronic kidney disease patients.

BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) are recognized as strong risk factors of vascular calcifications in non dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients.
