- Abstract
Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) has long been regarded as a consequence of abnormal calcium-phosphate metabolism in uremic patient associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in this population. We evaluated the association between residual renal function (RRF), phosphate level and valve calcification in peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients.
