title: [Calcifying uremic arteriopathy].
abstract: 28 cases of calcifying arteriopathy were found among 217 autopsies of uremic patients (96 of them treated by hemodialysis). It was confined to one organ (10 cases) or generalized (18 cases). Morphology and relation of arteriopathy to secondary hyperparathyroidism were presented. Calcifying uremic arteriopathy ranks among calcifylactic syndromes and is taken for a dystrophic calcification from the formal pathogenetic point of view.
