The link between CKD and CAC has been mostly established by studies of patients who have abnormally high phosphorus levels and advanced CKD or end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to examine if there are distinct trajectory classes of serum phosphorus (controlling for eGFR) that are associated CAC in a relatively healthy, community sample.
