[The expanding concept of CKD-MBD]

Abstract

Almost seven years have passed since the publication of the KDIGO clinical practice guideline on chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder(CKD-MBD). During this period, several new medications for osteoporosis that may be applicable to patients with CKD have become available. Clinical studies have also shown the utility of bone mineral density to assess fracture risk in CKD. These new data charges us with the task of reconciling the concept of renal osteodystrophy(ROD)and osteoporosis in CKD. This review summarize the recent advances in the management of bone disease in CKD and the key points raised during the discussion for the KDIGO guideline revision, and address the problems to be solved in future.
