SUMMARY

By relating serum characteristics to outcomes in more than 300 hemodialysis patients, Ketteler and colleagues found that decreased serum fetuin-A levels were associated with significantly increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The authors called these smallest basic elements that comprise the majority (95-97%) of the fetuin-A mineral complexes in_vitro calciprotein monomers (CPM). Metabolism . . .
