What is vascular calcification?
Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and correlated with high rates of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease patients.

This article reviews current mechanisms proposed for the regulation of vascular calcification and data supporting their potential contribution to this process in chronic kidney disease.
