Vascular calcification is clinically important, because it predicts a higher risk of cardiovascular event. Its pathogenesis involve atherosclerosis and regulated by mechanism which like bone metabolism. In dialysis patients, there is excess oxidative stress, shortage of scavenger, metabolic abnormality of calcium and phosphate. These factors may accelerate vascular calcification in dialysis patient. K/DOQI guideline shows the therapeutic strategy for calcium and phosphate metabolic abnormality. It is expected more progression in therapy for vascular calcification.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
