The high rate of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant barrier to improved life expectancy. Unique in this population is the marked development and aggressive worsening of vascular calcification (VC). Pyrophosphate (PPi), an endogenous molecule, appears to naturally inhibit soft tissue calcification, but may be depressed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD. Although once thought to be a promising therapeutic, PPi's very short half-life in circulation curtailed earlier studies. We tested the possibility that a slow, continuous entry of PPi into the circulation and prevention of VC might be achieved by daily peritoneal dialysis (PD).
