Univariate analyses of age, eGFR, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) on the day of CT scan against vascular calcification volume. In univariate analyses, phosphate concentration and malignancy were not associated with log [Calc/BSA] (p = 0.3768 and p = 0.8414, respectively). Male sex, diabetes and diuretics were significantly associated with log [Calc/BSA] (p = 0.0002, p = 0.0013 and p = 0.0020, respectively). BSA, body surface area calculated with Fujimoto’s formula; Calc, calcification volume; CT, computed tomography; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure
