Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have an increased cardiovascular risk with
corresponding cardiovascular calcifications. CKD patients exhibit a functional vitamin K
deficiency. Calcification can be prevented by vitamin K intake. The aim of this study is to
investigate the cause for the vitamin K deficiency beyond a diminished dietary vitamin K
uptake.
