Rationale & Objective: Hyperphosphatemia is present in most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Phosphate binders (calcium-based and calcium free) are the mainstay pharmacologic treatment to lower phosphorus levels in patients with ESRD. Study Design: We evaluated biochemical markers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) treated with sevelamer carbonate versus calcium acetate. Setting & Participants: We enrolled 50 CKD patients (stages 3 and 4) and treated them with sevelamer carbonate and calcium acetate for 12 weeks. Outcomes: At the end of the study the biomarkers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction were analyzed. Results: A significant increase in HDL-cholesterol was observed with sevelamer carbonate but not with calcium acetate. Treatment with sevelamer carbonate reduced serum phosphate, calcium phosphate, and FGF-23 levels and there was no change with calcium acetate treatment. The inflammatory markers IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNFα decreased with response to both treatments. The levels of IL-6 significantly increased with calcium acetate treatment and no change was observed in the sevelamer carbonate treatment group. Conclusion: Sevelamer carbonate showed favorable effects on anti-inflammatory and vascular calcification biomarkers compared to calcium acetate treatment. Funding: Funding was received from Sanofi/Genzyme. Trial Registration: Registered at trial.com, registration number NCT01277497.

Chronic kidney disease is associated with a high mortality rate, especially cardiovascular disease associated with mineral and bone disorders. Sclerostin is an inhibitor of Wnt signaling which has the effect of increasing the occurrence of vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease. There are several studies that show different results. Carotid intima media thickness ultrasound examination is a tool to identify atherosclerosis which is part of vascular calcification. The aim of this study is to look at the correlation of sclerostin with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. In this cross section, the concentration of sclerostin was measured by examination of enzymed linked immunosorbent assay. CIMT measurement by ultrasound mode B examination. There were 40 patients in this study. The mean sclerostin level was 256.68 ± 127.76 pg / ml. Sclerostin levels are declared high if above 162 pg / ml there are 30 people. CIMT thickening was present in 11 patients. There was no significant correlation of serum sclerostin with CIMT in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (r-0.32 p0,847). In multivariate linear regression, hemodialysis duration is an independent factor that is significantly significant with CIMT. There was no significant correlation of serum sclerostin with CIMT in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

Increasing interest in vascular pseudo-ossification has alarmed the modern atherosclerotic society. High phosphate is one of the key factors in vascular pseudo ossification, also known as vascular calcification. The active process of deposition of the phosphate crystals in vascular tissues results in arterial stiffness. High phosphate condition is mainly observed in chronic kidney disease patients. However, prolonged exposure with high phosphate enriched foods such as canned drinks, dietary foods, etc. can be considered as modifiable risk factors for vascular complication in a population regardless of chronic kidney disease. High intake of vitamin K regulates the vascular calcification by exerting its anti-calcification effect. The changes in serum phosphate and vitamin K levels in a normal individual with high phosphate intake are not well investigated. This review summarised the underlying mechanisms of high phosphate induced vascular pseudo ossification such as vascular transdifferentiation, vascular apoptosis and phosphate uptake by sodium-dependent co-transporters. Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar were searched using the terms ‘vitamin K’, ‘vascular calcification, ‘phosphate’, ‘transdifferentiation’ and ‘vascular pseudoossification’. Vitamin K certainly activates the matrix GIA protein and inhibits vascular transition and apoptosis in vascular pseudo-ossification. The present view highlighted the possible therapeutic linkage between vitamin K and the disease. Understanding the role of vitamin K will be considered as potent prophylaxis agent against the vascular disease in near future.
