Arterial "inflammaging" drives vascular calcification in children on dialysis
Sanchis et al.1 reported interesting data on the association between vascular calcification and arterial inflammaging in children with advanced chronic kidney disease. We agree that uremic children are a potentially ideal model for studying accelerated cellular senescence, but the authors do not differentiat e between those on hemodialysis and those on peritoneal dialysis therapy. Peritoneal dialysis is known to be characterized by a generally superior biocompatibility compared with hemodialysis.
