Fetuin-A acts as an inhibitor of systemic and local ectopic calcification and inflammatory
response, but the role of fetuin-A in the etiology of urolithiasis is still unclear. We aim to …

Background Fetuin-A is implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification in chronic
kidney disease (CKD); however, the relationship between fetuin-A, histopathologic lesions …

Results Patients with kidney stones, on average, had lower levels of Serum Fetuin-A
(1522.27±755.39 vs. 1914.64±733.76 μg/ml; P= 0.046) as well as lower levels of Urine …

The serum glycoprotein fetuin-A is an important inhibitor of extraosseous calcification. The
importance of fetuin-A has been confirmed in fetuin-A null mice, which develop widespread …

Background: The extracellular protein fetuin-A is a potent soluble inhibitor of calcification,
and its deficiency has been associated with vascular calcification in dialysis patients. In …

Background/Aims: A close relationship exists between inflammation and vascular
calcification. Although fetuin-A is known to be an inhibitor of calcification, studies correlating …

Background/Aim: Fetuin-A is a circulating calcium-regulatory glycoprotein that inhibits
vascular calcification. In the present study, serum fetuin-A was studied as a novel risk factor …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of urine fetuin‐A and other promotors and
inhibitors of urine crystalization with urolithiasis, as fetuin‐A inhibits the precipitation of …

Background. Vascular calcification is commonly found in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients and it is one of the predictors of cardiovascular death. Recently, several studies …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association of fetuin-A polymorphisms with calcium oxalate
nephrolithiasis. Fetuin-A is a circulating calcium-regulatory glycoprotein that inhibits …
