Some individuals develop hypertension in response to vitamin D, which in some of them may be directly related to hypercalcemia and which may be reversible when renal function is normalized (12). Metastatic calcification is observed in various tissues (13), but arterial calcification is the most usual. In some patients undergoing dialysis, calcification of the blood vessels has been so extensive that cannulation could not be performed (14). [Pg.3671]

Morbus Monckeberg (medial arterial calcification) or medial calcinosis is the deposition of hydroxyapatite (Ca5(P04)30H) in the media. Most frequently affected are the small to medium sized arteries of the lower extremities, the pelvic arteries and the abdominal aorta. An occurrence in the coronary arteries is rare. As a rule, Morbus Monckeberg frequently coincides with atherosclerosis. At an advanced stage, the media is almost entirely replaced by a homogeneous calciferous layer, which displays itself in the computer tomogram almost like a second skeleton (Rg. 5.143). In contrast to atherosclerosis, lipids do not contribute to the deposition. [355]... [Pg.408]

Cardiovascular Matrix Gla protein (MGP) has been previously described as an important inhibitor of vascular calcification, and inhibition of carboxylation of this enzyme by vitamin K antagonists has been associated with excessive coronary vessel calcification [1. In a case-control study in 19 Dutch patients aged under 55 years and 18 healthy age-matched controls, long-term coumarin anticoagulant therapy was strongly associated with femoral artery calcification (OR=8.5 95% CI=2.0, 35), and there was a strong correlation between coumarin use and plasma MGP concentrations [2. ...
