Patients on haemodialysis (HD) and patients with type 2 diabetes are at high-risk for coronary artery calcification (CAC). The coronary artery calcium score (CACS), quantified by computed tomography, cannot be completely explained by traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors. CAC was measured in 45 non-diabetic chronic kidney disease patients on HD and in 45 matched type 2 diabetes patients without diabetic nephropathy. Serum calcium, phosphate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), alkaline phosphatase, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), fetuin-A, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), albumin, homocysteine, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and femoral neck bone mineral density were also measured. No differences were observed in patient distribution across the CACS risk categories between the two groups. Significant differences were observed in serum calcium, phosphate, 25(OH)D, alkaline phosphatase, iPTH, fetuin-A, hsCRP, homocysteine and triglycerides between the two patient groups. Further research into the diverse, numerous and often interlinked factors that influence CAC in different groups of patients is warranted. |
