PosterINTRODUCTION: Serum alkaline phosphatase plays a role in vascular calcification. It is found in various tissues, whereas bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) more specifically reflects mineral metabolism. The relationship of serum alkaline phosphatase (total and bone-specific) with diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which are two major risk factors of vascular calcification, is largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationships between glucose metabolism, components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and alkaline …published_or_final_versio
