Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition marked by declining renal function, which predisposes patients to systemic metabolic imbalances. A prominent complication in CKD is vascular ...

Vascular calcification, low bone mass and fragility fractures are all frequent age-dependent disorders. Recent clinical and experimental data suggest that vascular calcification and bone loss could ...

Vascular stiffening and calcification, which is accelerated by aging, affects multiple organs and plays a role in dementia. There are no treatments for vascular calcification, which makes arteries ...

Promising therapies still need to be further evaluated in clinical trials. The first systematic review of trials of possible therapies to slow vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD) ...

In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...

The ionic and metabolic impairment observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to vascular calcification, which can induce cardiovascular events and mortality. Several factors may impact the ...

Logistic regression is the most cost-effective model for medial vascular calcification classification, with a mean ICER of $278 using five low-cost features. Despite similar diagnostic accuracy, ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 4, on April 2, 2025, titled "Fisetin ameliorates vascular smooth muscle cell calcification via DUSP1-dependent p38 MAPK ...

Vascular calcification is a common condition that has been shown to increase the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots, and can lead to limb amputations.

There may be relationships between bone mineral density at different body locations and cardiac calcification. Sex-specific differences may exist in these relationships. Further research is needed to ...
