Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Vascular calcification is a confirmed risk factor for cardiovascular events in the general population and has a high occurrence in patients with ESKD. Despite the high prevalence of vascular calcification in ESKD, the pathogenesis of the disorder is still obscure. The present study examined the expressions of bone-associated factors in calcified arteries in subtotally nephrectomized rats with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).
