Core Tip	Arterial calcification is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Factors specific to CKD such as hyperphosphatemia, excess of calcium and high dose vitamin D therapy play important roles in the development of arterial calcification. Statin is ineffective in lowering the calcification burden. Data on diabetes and blood pressure controls and smoking cessation on cardiovascular outcomes in CKD population are limited. Available treatment strategies include non-calcium containing phosphate binders, low dose active vitamin D and calcimimetic agent. Preliminary data on bisphosphonates, vitamin K and sodium thiosulfate are encouraging but larger studies on efficacy and outcomes are needed.
