To investigate the role of low serum zinc levels in predicting vascular calcification in patients undergoing dialysis.
Observed the relationship between serum zinc levels and vascular calcification incidence.
Analyzed data from patients starting dialysis.
Evaluated calcification via imaging techniques.
Low serum zinc levels showed a distinct association with newly detected abdominal aortic calcification (AAC).
Finding indicates low zinc may predict development of vascular calcification.

Resumen

Conclusion: Low s-Zn level was independently associated with newly detected AAC, which indicates that low s-Zn predicts vascular calcification development in patients with incident dialysis.I have potential conflict of interest to disclose.Yosuke Saka received honoraria from Nobelpharma.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
