Fetuin-A and kidney function in persons with coronary artery disease--data from the Heart and Soul Study.
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2006; (8): 2144-51
Fetuin-A is a serum protein that inhibits ectopic vascular calcification and is present in lower concentrations in end-stage renal disease than in healthy controls. Whether fetuin-A concentrations are also lower in the setting of mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown.
