Serum oxalate concentration is associated with coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular events in Japanese dialysis patients.

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). CAC might contain calcium oxalate, and a high serum oxalate (S) concentration is associated with cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. We assessed the associations between S and CAC or CVD events in Japanese hemodialysis patients.
