Includes bibliographical references. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of vascular calcification (VC) in CKD-5D is unknown. We undertook to determine the effect of ethnicity on VC, the risk factors for VC, the utility of abdominal X-ray (AXR) in predicting coronary calcium score (CCS) and the effect of VC on central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in South African dialysis patients. ... Black race significantly protects from VC in South African CKD-5D patients and warrants further study. The AXR is a useful screening tool for CCS in our population. VC does not appear to influence CASP in our population. 2015-01-10T13:35:46Z 2015-01-10T13:35:46Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11995 eng application/pdf Department of Paediatrics and Child Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
