Abstract
Coronary plaques in patients with end-stage renal failure are characterized by increased media thickness and marked calcification. In contrast to the previous opinion the most marked difference compared to non-uraemic controls does not concern the size, but the composition of the plaque. Deposition of calcium within the plaques may contribute to the high complication rate in uraemic patients.
