Abstract:Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of serum Osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) for vascular calcification (VC) in patients under hemodialysis. Methods: A total of 133 patients under hemodialysis were selected from January 2018 to October 2020, of which 58 patients with VC were in the calcification group and 75 patients without VC were in the non-calcification group. The levels of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 in the two groups were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The diagnostic values of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 in VC were explored by ROC curve. Results: The levels of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 in the calcification group were higher than those in the non-calcification group (P<0.05). With the aggravation of calcification, the levels of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 were positively correlated with VC score of dialysis patients (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that longer dialysis age and elevated of OPG, BSAP, FGF-23 were risk factors for VC in dialysis patients (P<0.05). The AUC of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 were 0.853, 0.864 and 0.866 respectively. The AUC and specificity of the combined test in VC were significantly higher than that of the single test (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression of serum OPG, BSAP and FGF-23 is closely related to VC in patients under hemodialysis. The combined detection is of great significance for the diagnosis and evaluation of VC.
