Vascular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease

  • Chapter

Vascular calcification (VC) of medium-sized muscular and large elastic arteries and arterioles is an important complication of uremia, which is closely linked to, and can therefore serve as a marker of, atherosclerosis as well as of arteriosclerosis. There are two forms of VC depending on whether it occurs in the intima or media of blood vessels. Intimal calcification occurs in atherosclerotic lesions [1, 2], and as atherosclerotic plaques mature they typically develop associated calcification [3].
