Key result
Among maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients, 35% (41/117) had cardiac valve calcification, with age (OR 1.965) and diabetes (OR 4.693) identified as independent risk factors for aortic calcification.

In maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients, age, diabetes, calcium-phosphorus product, and hypo-prealbuminemia are independent risk factors for cardiac valve calcification.

Supports targeted screening for valve calcification in older diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients; leaves open prognostic impact and need for longitudinal validation.
Wang et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Maintenance peritoneal dialysis (n=117). Clinical and biochemical risk factors was evaluated on Aortic valve calcification (OR 1.965, p=0.01). Among maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients, 35% (41/117) had cardiac valve calcification, with age (OR 1.965) and diabetes (OR 4.693) identified as independent risk factors for aortic calcification.
