Abstract

Based on Indonesian Renal Registry Data in 2016, the cause of death of most hemodialysis patients was cardiovascular disease about 41%. One of the prognostic markers of the death caused by cardiovascular disease is vascular calcification. The prevalence of vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients varies, depending on the detection method and the location of calcification. Data on vascular calcification in Indonesia is limited. Primary endpoint of this study was prevalence of abdominal aortic calcification. This was a observational study of 76 consecutive adult patients on maintenance hemodialysis for ⩾36 months in Rasyida Hospital on April 2018. Abdominal aortic calcification was determined by plain lateral lumbar Xray. Most of patients were male (61.8%) and had hypertension (75%). Patients’ median (min-max) age was 57 (25-78) years and median (min-max) dialysis duration was 67 (36-231) months. Fifty two patients (68.4%) had abdominal aortic calcification. Severe abdominal aortic calcification were in 40 patients (52.6%). Most of patients had vascular calcification in both of layers; intima and media (44.7%). Vascular calcification are highly prevalent in the hemodialysis patient. Further studies were needed evaluating the association between characteristic of demographic, clinical and laboratorium with vascular calcification.
