Associations of vascular calcification, calcium phosphate disturbances, FGF 23 and Matrix Gla protein with mortality of hemodialysis patients: one center cohort study

Associations of vascular calcification, calcium phosphate disturbances, FGF 23 and Matrix Gla protein with mortality of hemodialysis patients: one center cohort study

Background and objectives: Vascular calcification (VC) is one of the factors associated with mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The purpose of the study was to assess associations between prevalent VC and disturbances of calcium-phosphate metabolism as well as changes in vitamin D (25(OH)D), F...
