Fig. 5From: Impact of vascular calcification on cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients: clinical significance, mechanisms and possible strategies for treatmentStratified hsCRP and the progression of CAC [10]. CACS of 56 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were evaluated repeatedly with 15Â months interval, and delta CACS (changes of CACS) were shown according to stratified hsCRP. Progression of CACS was significantly correlated with baseline hsCRP values. Abbreviations: hsCRP high sensitive C-reactive protein, CACS coronary artery calcification scoreBack to article page
