Medial arterial calcification is a common and progressive lesion in end-stage renal disease that is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. Whether this lesion can be arrested or reversed is unknown, and was examined retrospectively by measuring progression of breast arterial calcification before and after kidney transplantation. Arterial calcification was measured on serial mammograms from patients with previous kidney transplantation and compared to measurements performed before transplantation or in patients on the active waitlist. Serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl after transplantation or warfarin use were exclusions. Median (interquartile range) progression of arterial calcification was 12.9 mm/breast per year (5.9 to 32.6) in 34 patients before or awaiting transplantation compared to just 1.2 mm/breast per year (−0.54 to 5.1) in 34 patients after transplantation (P < 0.001). Slowing of progression was also seen in longitudinal analyses of patients with mammograms performed both before and after transplantation. Duration of end-stage renal disease before transplantation but not age, diabetes, baseline calcification, or serum chemistries correlated with progression after transplantation. Significant regression was not observed in any patient. In this first quantitative study of the effect of kidney transplantation, medial arterial calcification appeared to slow to rates seen in patients with normal renal function, indicating that the effect of renal failure may be completely abrogated. Overall, however, there was no significant regression, suggesting that calcification is irreversible and emphasizing the importance of prevention. Duration of pretransplant end-stage renal disease but not baseline calcification was a determinant of progression, consistent with cumulative, permanent changes to arteries that promote calcification.
