Clinical Calcium 2012 July
Recently, much of the attention given to bone-mineral disorder as the prognostic factor for mortality has focused on their links to chronic-kidney disease. High-frequency severe atherosclerosis/calcinosis is observed in chronic dialysis, which leads to cardiovascular events. Recent progress in basic research has revealed certain similarities between processes of bone calcification and calcifications of vascular tissues which contribute to several cardiovascular diseases. However, the effective treatment for suppressing the progression of vascular calcification has not been established. Here we review the mechanism of vascular calcification and present our findings that a bisphosphonate is useful in prevention of vascular calcification in chronic renal failure.
