End-stage renal disease- How rare is(calcifixiation)?


Recently my grandmother died due to complications from end-stage renal disease. She was on dialysis for 15 years. I am trying to find out more about cacifixiation-I know it is a calcifying of the arteries but what else.?

Its primarily the arteries. Vascular calcification is the most common cause of death in patients on dialysis.
