Calcification diagnosed in 76 of 101 hemodialysis patients, highlighting a significant prevalence.
Logistic regression showed age, dialysis duration, PTH, and magnesium as independent factors affecting vascular calcification.
Higher levels of PTH and longer dialysis duration correlated with increased abdominal aortic calcification scores.
Lower serum magnesium was associated with an increased risk of vascular calcification, suggesting its protective role.
