2 Figure 1 Severe calcifications of a coronary artery (white arrow) and of the aortic valve insertion (gray arrow) in a 42-year-old dialysis patient (Agatston score: 594 [Score:> 400 = severe burden of coronary artery calcification]; ECG-gated multislice spiral CT).Clinical history – Renal diagnosis: chronic glomerulonephritis (no biopsy performed); start of hemodialysis in 1988; kidney transplantation 1989–1996; re-start of hemodialysis in 1996 due to chronic allograft failure; arterial hypertension, local periarticular skin calcifications on his right hand and left foot.
