Abstract
Electron beam CT (EBCT) has been used to measure coronary artery calcification score (CACS). We have been studied CACS on chronic dialysis patients and examined the relationship between CACS and laboratory variables, incidence of ischemic heart disease, and survival. High CACS is often observed in patients with high serum phosphate, high calcium phosphate product, and dyslipidemia. Several factors for calcification both stimulating and suppressing have been playing a role in chronic dialysis patients. CACS is a surrogate marker of adequate control of uremia.
