New Hemodialysis Study Results from Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University Described (The relationship between coronary artery calcification and bone metabolic markers in maintenance hemodialysis patients).

Among 123 MHD patients, 37 patients (30.08%) did not have CAC, and 86 patients (69.92%) had CAC, including 41 patients (47.67%) with mild calcification and 45 patients (52.33%) with moderate to severe calcification. N-MID OC may be a reliable bone metabolic marker linking vascular calcification and bone metabolism in MHD patients." CAC was closely related to abnormal bone metabolism and bone metabolic markers in MHD patients. [Extracted from the article]
