Identification and quantification of plasma calciprotein particles with distinct physical properties in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract Calciprotein particles (CPP) are solid-phase calcium-phosphate bound to serum protein fetuin-A and dispersed as colloids in the blood. Recent clinical studies indicated that serum CPP levels were increased with decline of renal function and associated with inflammation and vascular calcific...
