Background. Among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the risk of cardiovascular disease is 10 to 20 times higher than the general population. Adults with ESRD have increased coronary-artery calcification (CAC) detected by electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT). Because the risk of coronary heart disease is increased even at moderate declines in kidney function, we sought to test whether high CAC scores are seen among those with mild reductions in kidney function.Methods. Men and women free of symptomatic cardiovascular disease underwent EBCT. Coronary calcium was quantified using the method described by Agatston. Renal function was estimated by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Spearman correlation coefficients were used to test the association between GFR and CAC.Results. Three hundred nineteen subjects (162 men/157 women), mean age 60, were included. Mean GFR was 86+/-23 mL/min/ 1.73 m(2) (range 31-169; 10% with GFR
