Abstract

In patients with chronic renal insufficiency, mortality is higher in dialysis patients than in non-dialysis patients, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death [1]. Bone mineral metabolism disorder is a common complication in maintenance hemodialysis patients and a non-traditional risk factor for cardiovascular events [2]. Therefore, this paper reviews the pathological features, pathogenesis, risk factors, prevention, and treatment mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney diseases-mineral and bone diseases, and discusses the evidence of the association of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney diseases-mineral and bone diseases. A recent study also reported a relationship between uremia, fractures, and cardiovascular events. The glomerular filtration rate is reduced in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, and disorders of bone mineral metabolism are increased, several mechanisms of which increase cardiovascular events in patients with chronic renal diseases - mineral and bone diseases. Ameliorating bone mineral metabolism disorders may be a potential future target for reducing cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorders.
