Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract.
The prevalence of both cardiovascular mortality and vascular calcification is much higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in the general population so early detection and intervention of VC may prevent or delay the progression and achieve improved patient outcomes. The aim of this work is to predict VC and asses the effect of MGP ,25(oh) vitamin D and intact PTH on vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients.
This is a cross sectional observational study included 85 patients with end stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis 47 males and 38 females ranged between 18 and 80 years old selected from Nephrology Unit, Internal Medicine Department, Menoufia University Hospital and Shebin El Kom teaching hospital from April 2019 to March 2020.
Serum dephosphorylated uncarboxylated matrix GLA protein, vitamin D, intact PTH and Non-contrast computed tomography for calcium scoring of abdominal aorta and femoral arteries were performed.
Femoral artery calcification was significantly less sensitive in detecting vascular calcification compared to aortic artery calcification. Patients were divided according to presence or absence of severe Aortic vascular calcification into two groups. comparison between the two groups regarding PTH and vitamin D were non-significant while there was significant difference between both groups regarding serum calcium, phosphate, calcium phosphate products, alkaline phosphatase, serum magnesium and MGP. Age by years was significantly different while duration of dialysis was not significant. Age X dialysis vintage in years showed highly significant difference between the studied groups and the cut off value of age X dialysis vintage was 210 and we can predict the occurrence of sever Aortic calcification from the onset of dialysis by dividing 210 over the age at onset of dialysis to get the number of years that the patient may develop sever Aortic vascular calcification.
detection of vascular calcification by imaging of abdominal aorta is better than femoral artery imaging. age X dialysis vintage is a novel factor that is independent risk factor for VC severity and that can predict the onset of development of VC from the onset of dialysis. Both high turnover and low turnover bone disease associated with severe vascular calcification,
