| Research Abstract |
Coronary artery calcification cause cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. The cost of cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients occupies huge amount of Japanese medical costs. This study indicates that inflammation and disorder of mineral metabolism cause the coronary artery calcification in dialysis patients. Intensive care for inflammation and disorder of mineral metabolism reads better outcome in dialysis patients and reduce medical costs.
