Significant associations between bone mineral density and vascular calcification in patients with different stages of chronic kidney disease

Abstract Introduction Chronic kidney disease—mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) is characterised by generalised vascular calcification (VC) and impaired bone health. We aimed to investigate the relationship between VC and bone mineral density (BMD) in CKD patients. Methods We performed a cross-sec...
