Our study aimed to determine the significance of AS for survival of prevalent dialysis patients, as well as its association with cardiovascular parameters or vascular calcification promoters\/inhibitors or both and AS. Materials and Methods: The study involved 80 adult hemodialysis patients. Besides standard laboratory analyses, we also determined promoters and inhibitors of vascular calcification (bone biomarkers): serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), soluble Klotho, intact parathormone (iPTH), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, osteoprotegerin, sclerostin, AS measured as ankle carotid pulse wave velocity (acPWV), Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), and vascular calcification (VC) score. Patients were monitored for up to 28 months. According to the median acPWV value, we divided patients into a group with acPWV \u2264 8.8 m\/s, and a group with acPWV &gt; 8.8 m\/s, and the two groups were compared. Results: Values for bone biomarkers were similar in both groups. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), central systolic and diastolic brachial blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse pressure were higher in the group with acPWV &gt; 8.8 m\/s than in the group with acPWV \u2264 8.8 m\/s. The mortality was higher for patients with acPWV &gt; 8.8 m\/s at any given time over 28 months of follow-up. In multivariable analysis, predictors of higher acPWV were age &gt;60.5, higher pulse rate, and higher central systolic or brachial diastolic blood pressure. Conclusions: According to our results, we advise the measurement of acPWV preferentially in younger dialysis patients for prognosis, as well as intervention planning before the development of irreversible changes in blood vessels. In addition, measuring central systolic blood pressure seems to be useful for monitoring AS in prevalent hemodialysis patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina56090435","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,28]],"date-time":"2020-08-28T09:17:08Z","timestamp":1598606228000},"page":"435","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Significance of acPWV for Survival of Hemodialysis Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Marko","family":"Petrovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Nephrology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5585-9793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marko","family":"Baralic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Nephrology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Voin","family":"Brkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Nephrology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Arsenovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Special Hospital for Endemic Nephropathy, 11555 Lazarevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vesna","family":"Stojanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Cardiology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natasa","family":"Lalic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Centre for Medical Biochemistry, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dejana","family":"Stanisavljevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Medical Statistics, School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Jankovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department for Renal Diseases, Zvezdara University Medical Center, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nenad","family":"Radivojevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Cardiology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Svetlana","family":"Pejanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Nephrology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivko","family":"Maric","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Special Hospital for Endemic Nephropathy, 11555 Lazarevac, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Visnja","family":"Lezaic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Centre of Serbia, Department of Nephrology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1038\/kisup.2011.5","article-title":"Arterial aging and arterial disease: Interplay between central hemodynamics, cardiac work, and organ flow-implications for CKD and cardiovascular disease","volume":"1","author":"London","year":"2011","journal-title":"Kidney Int.
