Consenso en metabolismo óseo y mineral. Sociedad Argentina de Nefrología. Versión 2010. Capítulo VI. Las calcificaciones vasculares en la enfermedad renal crónica con un apéndice sobre el diagnóstico de las calcificaciones vasculares

The aim of designing this consensus document was to collaborate with nephrologists in the management of mineral metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease. To do this, we formulated questions requiring answers for the clinical management of our patients and consulted bibliographic sources and international guidelines with the aim of adapting them to the Argentine situation. The new definitions and the more integrated classification system recently proposed by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Foundation have been taken into account. Chapter VI on vascular calcifications in chronic kidney disease is presented, with an appendix on the diagnosis of vascular calcifications.
