The effects of dialysis modalities on the progression of coronary artery calcification in dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemodialysis (HD) tend to have more hemodynamic changes than peritoneal dialysis (PD), which aggravates inflammation and oxidative stress. Whether HD and PD have different effects on the progression of vascular calcification? Therefore, we produced a study to explore the relationship of dialysis modalities and coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study. CT scans were performed at enrollment and 2 years later for each patient. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Tobit regression was used to compare delta CAC score between HD and PD patients.

Results

(1) 155 patients were enrolled, including 69 HD and 86 PD patients. (2) The baseline CAC scores were 97 (1, 744) in HD and 95 (0, 324) in PD; the follow
