BACKGROUND: @entity730 ( @entity730 ) is commonly observed in chronic dialysis @entity1 and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We investigated the factors associated with @entity730 and analyze the relationship between bone-derived biomarkers and @entity730 . METHODS: We enrolled 227 stable hemodialysis @entity1 . Vascular @entity730 were assessed using lateral lumbar radiography of the abdominal aorta. Demographic data were collected and serum levels of biochemical and bone-derived biomarkers, including sclerostin, @entity5741 ( @entity5741 ), and @entity11648 ( @entity11648 ), were measured. RESULTS: One hundred sixty-one @entity1 (71.0%) had @entity730 . @entity1 with @entity730 score   13 were older, with higher body mass index (BMI), serum @entity460 , @entity78 product, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and @entity11648 levels. Sclerostin and @entity5741 levels were inversely associated with @entity730 severity, and @entity11648 was directly related to @entity729 . @entity101 , @entity455 , hsCRP, @entity11648 , and sclerostin were independent @entity730 determinants. CONCLUSIONS: @entity102 @entity1 have a high prevalence of @entity729 . Levels of circulating sclerostin, @entity5741 , and @entity11648 were related to @entity730 severity. Sclerostin and @entity11648 were independently associated with @entity730 .
