Association of Serum Fetuin-A with Vascular Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients and Its' Impact on 3-year Mortality.
CONCLUSION: Survival rate of patients without VC was higher than the patients with VC. We didn't find any correlation between the level of fetuin-A and VC. It seems that the traditional risk factors of VC, including age and diabetes mellitus are the main predictors of VC in MHD patients.
