Management Of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral And Bone Disorder (Ckd-Mbd), Pringgodigdo Nugroho

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still a burden on worldwide health issues affecting about 11-13% of the general population. Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a common complication in CKD, which occurs early in the disease, and progresses as kidney function deteriorates. With declining kidney function, mineral homeostasis becomes progressively dysregulated, including alterations in several parameters such as calcium, phosphate, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). Changes in these parameters are associated with bone disorders and vascular abnormalities, which are strongly correlated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, and overall mortality. Currently, CKD-MBD and its complication management have been …
