Cardiovascular disturbance occupied 43.7% on causes of death in dialysis patients. It was confirmed that their deaths were, at least partially, caused by accelerated vascular damage which originates from renal osteodystrophy. This review describes calciphylaxis with very poor prognosis, and advanced calcification in blood vessels and soft tissues in dialysis patients. The relation of coronary artery calcification, of which the quantitative evaluation recently became possible by ultra-first CT, is outlined with special concern to their effects on the mortality.
