Key result
In hemodialysis patients, the aortic calcification index increased progressively over 4 years from 10.3 to 24.8 (p<0.0001), with accelerated progression observed in patients with hypoparathyroidism.
Observational (n=50)
No
In maintenance hemodialysis patients, aortic calcification progresses significantly over time, and this progression may be accelerated in patients with hypoparathyroidism.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Aortic calcification progression in hemodialysis may warrant monitoring; leaves open hypoparathyroidism as accelerator.

Nagayoshi et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Hemodialysis (n=50). Long-term hemodialysis vs. Baseline was evaluated on Aortic Calcification Index (ACI) at 4 years (p=<0.0001). In hemodialysis patients, the aortic calcification index increased progressively over 4 years from 10.3 to 24.8 (p<0.0001), with accelerated progression observed in patients with hypoparathyroidism.
