Vascular Calcification Is Associated with Fetuin-A and Cortical Bone Porosity in Stone Formers

Vascular Calcification Is Associated with Fetuin-A and Cortical Bone Porosity in Stone Formers

Background: Nephrolithiasis has been associated with bone loss and vascular calcification (VC), reflecting abnormal extraosseous calcium deposition. Fetuin-A (Fet-A) acts as a potent inhibitor of ectopic mineralization. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of VC in stone forme...
