Correlation between fetuin-A and matrix Gla protein levels in human serum

Correlation between fetuin-A and matrix Gla protein levels in human serum

Background: Vascular calcification is frequently found in hemodialysis patients. Fetuin-A is a well-characterized circulating inhibitor of calcification. Several other bone-associated proteins, such as the matrix Gla protein (MGP), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and osteopontin (OPN), are also presumed to i...
