Abstract: Micro-inflammatory state is prevalent in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death in MHD patients, in which cardiovascular calcification (CVC) plays an important role. The progression of CVC is closely linked to the micro-inflammatory state. This review aims to summarize the role of micro-inflammatory state in the occurrence and development of CVC in MHD patients.

Key words: Maintenance hemodialysis, Micro-inflammatory state, Cardiovascular calcification
