Background: Vascular calcification in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is correlated with uremic toxins and severely impaired calciumphosphate- parathyroid metabolism. The association factors of vascular calcification in early-stage CKD are still unestablished. Objective: To identify the risk factors for vascular calcification in the early-stage CKD, which was the non-target population, different from other previous studies that explored this association in advanced stage CKD. Materials and Methods: The present study was a longitudinal study conducted to examine the risk factors of vascular calcification in CKD stage G2 and G3 patients who had no previous cardiovascular diseases. All parameters including coronary artery calcification (CAC) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) at baseline and after twelve months were evaluated. Results: Twenty-two patients without established cardiovascular diseases were included and completed the follow-up period. Mean baseline LDL was 99 mg/dL and no patient received statin. At 12-month, the median CAC score was significantly increased to 266 (126 to 956) versus 282 (198 to 846), (p=0.024]. By multivariable analysis in generalized estimating equations, only estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was associated with CAC score greater than 400 (aOR 0.92, p=0.041), and AAC score greater than 5 (aOR 0.90, p=0.023). Conclusion: In early-stage CKD, eGFR was associated with vascular calcification. Further studies should explore the potential benefits of delaying CKD progression on vascular calcification in the early-stage CKD patients.

At the early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the systemic mineral metabolism and bone composition start to change. This alteration is known as chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). It is well known that the bone turnover disorder is the most common complication of CKD-MBD. Besides, CKD patients usually suffer from vascular calcification (VC), which is highly associated with mortality. Many factors regulate the VC mechanism, which include imbalances in serum calcium and phosphate, systemic inflammation, RANK/RANKL/OPG triad, aldosterone, microRNAs, osteogenic transdifferentiation, and effects of vitamins. These factors have roles in both promoting and inhibiting VC. Patients with CKD usually have bone turnover problems. Patients with high bone turnover have increase of calcium and phosphate release from the bone. By contrast, when bone turnover is low, serum calcium and phosphate levels are frequently maintained at high levels because the reservoir functions of bone decrease. Both of these conditions will increase the possibility of VC. In addition, the calcified vessel may secrete FGF23 and Wnt inhibitors such as sclerostin, DKK-1, and secreted frizzled-related protein to prevent further VC. However, all of them may fight back the inhibition of bone formation resulting in fragile bone. There are several ways to treat VC depending on the bone turnover status of the individual. The main goals of therapy are to maintain normal bone turnover and protect against VC.

Chronic kidney disease is associated with a high mortality rate, especially cardiovascular disease associated with mineral and bone disorders. Sclerostin is an inhibitor of Wnt signaling which has the effect of increasing the occurrence of vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease. There are several studies that show different results. Carotid intima media thickness ultrasound examination is a tool to identify atherosclerosis which is part of vascular calcification. The aim of this study is to look at the correlation of sclerostin with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. In this cross section, the concentration of sclerostin was measured by examination of enzymed linked immunosorbent assay. CIMT measurement by ultrasound mode B examination. There were 40 patients in this study. The mean sclerostin level was 256.68 ± 127.76 pg / ml. Sclerostin levels are declared high if above 162 pg / ml there are 30 people. CIMT thickening was present in 11 patients. There was no significant correlation of serum sclerostin with CIMT in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (r-0.32 p0,847). In multivariate linear regression, hemodialysis duration is an independent factor that is significantly significant with CIMT. There was no significant correlation of serum sclerostin with CIMT in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

The article presents the results of a study to assess the functional reserve of the kidneys against the background of a comparative study of antiaggregant therapy dipyridamole and allthrombosepin in 50 patients with a relatively early stage of chronic kidney disease. Studies have shown that long-term administration of allthrombosepin to patients has resulted in better maintenance of kidney functional reserves. Therefore, our research has once again confirmed that diphtheridamol, which is widely used as an antiaggregant drug in chronic kidney disease, does not lag behind the domestic raw material allthrombosepin
