Background and aims: Calciprotein particles (CPPs), nano-aggregates containing fetuin-A-bound calcium-phosphate, are associated with aortic stiffness and coronary calcification in maintenance hemodialysis patients. A novel gel-filtration assay can detect low-density small CPPs, which are actually a major form of circulating CPPs in vivo. We sought to investigate whether circulating CPP levels measured by gel-filtration method would accurately predict hard endpoints in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study used a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal, and observational design. One-hundred eight patients enrolled in this study were followed-up for about 2 years. We reported all-cause death and cardiovascular events, which included major adverse cardiac, cerebrovascular, and limb events. Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference between patients with the higher (>median) and lower (
