Life prognosis of hemodialysis patients with diabetes is remarkably bad compared with hemodialysis patients without diabetes. The major factor is existence of the specific bone metabolic disorder in patients with diabetes. Bone metabolic disorder is closely connected with vascular calcification, and it is thought that each disorder is induced by poor glycemic control. We will give an outline the influence which glycemic control has on bone metabolism and vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients with diabetes.
