Controlling the excessive fracture burden in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Stages G4–G5D remains an impressive challenge. The reasons are 2-fold. First, the …

Mineral and bone disease is omnipresent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
leads to a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including bone pain and fractures. The …

Mortality rates in ESRD are unacceptably high. Disorders of mineral metabolism
(hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism) are potentially …

Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism are common in patients with CKD. A large
body of evidence indicates that these derangements are associated with increased mortality …

The available data on bone fractures in hemodialysis (HD) patients are limited to results of a
few studies of subgroups of patients in the United States. This study describes the …

ContextRenal failure places people at particularly high risk of hip fracture. However, the
possible differential impact of dialysis and renal transplantation on this risk is not well …

People with ESRD are at a high risk for hip fracture. However, the effect of moderate to
severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hip fracture risk has not been well studied. As part …

Fractures are frequent in patients receiving hemodialysis. We tested the hypothesis that
cinacalcet would reduce the rate of clinical fractures in patients receiving hemodialysis using …

Background: Few investigations have described fracture risk and its relation to disorders in
calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) metabolism in the end-stage …
