Core Tip	High prevalence of atherosclerosis and arterial calcification in chronic kidney disease is far beyond the explanation by common cardiovascular risk factors. Phosphate retention, excess of calcium and prolonged dialysis vintage also contribute to the development of vascular calcification. Current therapies available include non-calcium containing phosphate binders, low dose active vitamin D and calcimimetic agent. The role of bisphosphonates is unclear. Preliminary data on sodium thiosulfate are promising. Several randomized studies revealed the lack of benefit of statin in lowering vascular calcification.
