CRP and cardiovascular disorder: As shown in Table 1, participants with CACS ≥400 were significantly older (p<0.01), had been undergoing dialysis for longer (p<0.01), had higher prevalence of previous and current cardiovascular disease (p<0.01), and had lower TSAT (p<0.05), lower Fe (p<0.05), higher serum CRP (p<0.001), and higher serum Ca (p<0.05) concentrations than those with CACS <400.
