Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 06/04/09
Sigrist MK et al. - The authors have previously reported that VC and low albumin predict death in CKD stages 4 and 5 over a 2-year follow-up period. These data show that OPG, independent of CRP, is also associated with a negative outcome. The mechanisms remain to be elucidated; however, it is likely that they are associated with vascular damage through mechanisms in addition to VC.
