Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as one of the leading noncommunicable diseases affecting >10% of the population worldwide. Bone and mineral disorders are a common complication among patients with CKD resulting in a poor life quality, high fracture risk, increased morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. According to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, renal osteodystrophy refers to changes in bone morphology found in bone biopsy, whereas CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) defines a complex of disturbances including biochemical and hormonal alterations, disorders of bone and mineral metabolism and extraskeletal calcification. As a result, the management of CKD-MBD should focus on the aforementioned parameters, including the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, abnormal PTH and vitamin D levels. Regarding the bone fragility fractures, osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy, which constitute the bone component of CKD-MBD, anti-osteoporotic agents constitute the mainstay of treatment. However, a thorough elucidation of the CKD-MBD pathogenesis is crucial for the ideal personalized treatment approach. In this paper, we review the pathology and management of CKD-MBD based on the current literature with special attention to recent advances.
