Research Article Association between Low Serum Fetuin A, Ischaemic Heart and Early Chronic Kidney Disease

Introduction; Stiffness of vessel walls caused by calcification is very important in the pathogenesis of organ damage, overall morbidity and mortality. In coronary arteries, the presence of numerous calcium deposits in the vessel wall restricts the diastole and makes the probability of coronary incidents high. Vascular calcification (VC) was in the past considered to be a passive degenerative process. Recently, intense research is being conducted into intracellular interactions and molecular processes underlying arterial calcification. Fetuin-A is a circulating calcium-binding glycoprotein. Its serum concentration was found to b
