| Summary: | Aim. To examine vascular calcification and plasma levels of osteopontin in patients with chronic kidney disease who are treated by program hemodyalisis
Methods and results. 53 patients were treated by renal hemodialysis. In this population the prevalence of abdominal aortic calcification was established using X-ray radiography. In 20 of them multislice computer tomography was conducted. There was a positive correlation between vascular calcification and phosphate levels, phosphate - calcium product. Plasma level of osteopontin in hemodialysis patients was significantly higher than in patients with predialysis stages of chronic kidney disease.
Conclusion. Positive correlation between plasma levels of citokine and abdominal aortic calcification may indicate that osteopontin is a marker of vascular calcification in patients, who are treated by program hemodialysis. |
