Background and objectives Patients receiving hemodialysis are at risk of cardiovascular events. A novel blood test (T-50 test) determines the individual calcification propensity of blood.Design, setting, participants, & measurements T-50 was determined in 2785 baseline serum samples of patients receiving hemodialysis enrolled in the Evaluation of Cinacalcet Therapy to Lower Cardiovascular Events (EVOLVE) trial and the T-50 results were related to patient outcomes.Results Serum albumin, bicarbonate, HDL cholesterol, and creatinine were the main factors positively/directly and phosphate was the main factor negatively/inversely associated with T-50. The primary composite end point (all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction [MI], hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, or peripheral vascular event [PVE]) was reached in 1350 patients after a median follow-up time of 619 days. After adjustments for confounding, a lower T-50 was independently associated with a higher risk of the primary composite end point as a continuous measure (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 SD lower T-50, 1.15; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.08 to 1.22; P
