Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of Renal Artery Calcification in Patients with Diabetes and Proteinuria

[摘要] Background and objectives: Vascular calcification is common and severe in chronic kidney disease. Because the consequences of calcification may differ by vascular beds, we sought to test the hypothesis that patients who have diabetes with proteinuria and have significant renal artery calcification (RAC) have a higher risk for progression to ESRD.
