Abstract | ||||
Introduction: Compared to the general population, hemodialysis patients are at marked increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Vascular calcification, occurring during late-stage vascular and valvular disease, is highly associated with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD), representing a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In CKD, Calcitriol levels are reduced and calcium complexes with phosphate, reducing calcium serum levels, causing secondary hyperparathyroidism. This leads to phosphate resorption from the bone, paradoxically causing a phosphate shift from bone demineralization toward vascular mineralization. Aim of the work: The aim of the work is to study Prevalence of cardiovascular calcification in patients in hemodialysis unit of Minia university hospital. To evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular calcification and serum calcium and phosphorus level. Patients and Methods: Subjects: The current study, The study group comprised 80 of hemodialysis patients, 35 males (43.8%) and 45 females (56.2%) were selected from hemodialysis unit of Minia university hospital (From august 2018 till February 2019). Results: Our study sample is 80 patients, 35 males (43.8%) and 45 females (56.2%) were selected from hemodialysis unit of Minia university hospital (From august 2018 till February 2019). Our study Revealed high prevalence of cardio vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients and recommend regular follow up and control of serum calcium and phosphorus level in hemodialysis patients | ||||
