Background: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) has a high prevalence and poor prognosis in patients who receive maintenance dialysis. However, few large-scale observational studies in Japan have investigated patients with AS who underwent dialysis. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and factors associated with AS in Japanese patients who underwent dialysis. Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we enrolled patients who underwent dialysis and transthoracic echocardiography between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Patients with a maximum aortic jet velocity (Vmax) ≥ 2.0 m/s, pressure gradient (PG) between the left ventricle and ascending aorta (mean PG) ≥ 20 mmHg, or aortic valve area (AVA) ≤ 1.0 cm2 were categorized into the AS group (G1). Patients with Vmax ≥ 3.0 m/s, mean PG ≥ 20 mmHg, or AVA ≤ 1.0 cm2 were categorized into the moderate and severe AS groups (G2). We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis and compared G1 and G2 with the non-AS group to determine the risk factors for AS. We also investigated the risk factors for aortic valve calcification, which is a pre-stage for AS. Results: Of the 2,786 patients investigated, 555 (20.0%) and 193 (6.9%) were categorized into G1 and G2, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, long-term dialysis, and elevated serum phosphorus levels were associated with AS in both the groups (p < 0.05). These factors were converted into ordinal categories, and a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Patients with serum phosphorus levels measuring 5.0–5.9 mg/dL and > 6.0 mg/dL showed a higher risk of AS than those with serum phosphorus levels measuring < 4.0 mg/dL (odds ratio 2.24, p = 0.01 and odds ratio 2.66, p = 0.005, respectively). Aortic valve calcification was associated with age, long-term dialysis, diabetes mellitus, administration of vitamin D receptor activators, elevated serum calcium levels, and anemia (p < 0.05 for all). Conclusions: Patients on dialysis showed a high prevalence of AS, which was associated with age, long-term dialysis, and elevated serum phosphorus levels.
