説明

<p>Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high incidence of atherosclerotic diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease. To prevent the incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD, the pathology of arteriosclerosis should be determined. Vascular calcification is a characteristic of arteriosclerosis in patients with CKD. Recent studies have reported that coronary artery calcification is associated with acute coronary syndromes. CKD is frequently associated with heart failure. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that coronary artery calcification affects asymptomatic myocardial ischemia. Hyperphosphatemia and calciprotein particles may be involved in the pathology of vascular calcification. Controlling the progression of vascular calcification and classical atherosclerotic risk factors is important to prevent the occurrence of atherosclerotic diseases in CKD.</p>
