Core Tip	Vascular calcification, a common feature of advanced atherosclerosis in the general population, is extremely advanced in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is associated with very fast progression of vascular (and in particular coronary) calcification. Pathogenetic aspects, clinical consequences and prognostic significance of coronary artery calcification in different CKD populations are discussed in this review. Therapeutic strategies used to limit the extent of vascular calcification and to improve the prognosis of patients with CKD are also discussed.
