Abstract:
Vascular calcifications represent a severe complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5. The factors influencing the development of this complication are in close relation with the pathology of chronic dialysis premorbid condition, and with therapy as well. The present article highlights the association between several factors and the development or the aggravation of vascular calcifications in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. The results are not always in accordance with similar literature data, but there is a lack of researches regarding mineral metabolism in peritoneal dialysis patients versus those on chronic hemodialysis.
