After switching the frequency of routine blood work from 4- to 6-week intervals, performance on
anemia and CKD-MBD targets did not change and the reduction in blood work was associated
with laboratory cost savings.

CHAPTER 3.1:
DIAGNOSIS OF CKD-MBD:
BIOCHEMICAL
ABNORMALITIES
77. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.1.1: We recommend monitoring serum levels of calcium,
phosphate, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase activity beginning in
CKD G3a (1C). In children, we suggest such monitoring beginning
in CKD G2 (2D).
3.1.2: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, it is reasonable to base the
frequency of monitoring serum calcium, phosphate, and PTH on
the presence and magnitude of abnormalities, and the rate of
progression of CKD (Not Graded).
78. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.1.2 (contâd.): Reasonable monitoring intervals would be:
o In CKD G3aâG3b: for serum calcium and phosphate, every 6â12 months; and
for PTH, based on baseline level and CKD progression.
o In CKD G4: for serum calcium and phosphate, every 3â6 months; and for PTH,
every 6â12 months.
o In CKD G5, including G5D: for serum calcium and phosphate, every 1â3
months; and for PTH, every 3â6 months.
o In CKD G4âG5D: for alkaline phosphatase activity, every 12 months, or more
frequently in the presence of elevated PTH (see Chapter 3.2).
In CKD patients receiving treatments for CKD-MBD, or in whom
biochemical abnormalities are identified, it is reasonable to increase the
frequency of measurements to monitor for trends and treatment efficacy
and side effects (Not Graded).
79. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.1.3: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we suggest that 25(OH)D
(calcidiol) levels might be measured, and repeated testing
determined by baseline values and therapeutic interventions
(2C).
We suggest that vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency be
corrected using treatment strategies recommended for the
general population (2C).
3.1.4: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we recommend that
therapeutic decisions be based on trends rather than on a single
laboratory value, taking into account all available CKD-MBD
assessments (1C).
80. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.1.5: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we suggest that individual
values of serum calcium and phosphate, evaluated together, be
used to guide clinical practice rather than the mathematical
construct of calcium-phosphate product (Ca x P) (2D).
3.1.6: In reports of laboratory tests for patients with CKD G3aâ
G5D, we recommend that clinical laboratories inform clinicians
of the actual assay method in use and report any change in
methods, sample source (plasma or serum), or handling
specifications to facilitate the appropriate interpretation of
biochemistry data (1B).
82. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
TESTING FOR CKD-MBD
3.2.1: In patients with CKD G3a-G5D with evidence of CKD-MBD
and/or risk factors for osteoporosis, we suggest bone mineral
density (BMD) testing to assess fracture risk if results will impact
treatment decisions (2B).
3.2.2: In patients with CKD G3a-G5D, it is reasonable to perform a
bone biopsy if knowledge of the type of renal osteodystrophy will
impact treatment decisions (Not Graded).
83. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.2.3: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we suggest that measurements of
serum PTH or bone-specific alkaline phosphatase can be used to
evaluate bone disease because markedly high or low values predict
underlying bone turnover (2B).
3.2.4: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we suggest not routinely
measuring bone-derived turnover markers of collagen synthesis (such as
procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide) and breakdown (such as
type I collagen cross-linked telopeptide, cross-laps, pyridinoline, or
deoxypyridinoline) (2C).
3.2.5: We recommend that infants with CKD G2âG5D have their length
measured at least quarterly, while children with CKD G2âG5D should be
assessed for linear growth at least annually (1B).
84. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
CHAPTER 3.3:
DIAGNOSIS OF CKDâMBD:
VASCULAR CALCIFICATION
85. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes
ASSESSMENT
3.3.1: In patients with CKD G3aâG5D, we suggest that a lateral
abdominal radiograph can be used to detect the presence or
absence of vascular calcification, and an echocardiogram can be
used to detect the presence or absence of valvular calcification,
as reasonable alternatives to computed tomography-based
imaging (2C).
3.3.2: We suggest that patients with CKD G3aâG5D with known
vascular or valvular calcification be considered at highest
cardiovascular risk (2A).
It is reasonable to use this information to guide the management
of CKD-MBD (Not Graded).
87. ďŹ Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder
(CKD-MBD) patients have a huge morbidity and
mortality.
ďŹ Only relatively minor progress in therapeutic
strategies has been made in the past decades.
ďŹ This is at least partially due to a lack of predictive
diagnostic tools allowing personalized treatment of
CKD-MBD patients
ďŹ Without precise diagnostic tools a personalized
therapy is not possible. This, however, was part of the
success story in oncology.
88. ďŹ However, there is hope; Researchers highlighted key
recommendations in areas of controversy or conjecture in the
management of (CKD-MBD) in a recent synopsis of the
(KDIGO) 2017 .
ďŹ The original update, published in Kidney International (2017;7(Suppl 1):1-
59), resulted in 15 revised recommendations based on evidence of
varying strengths accumulated since the 2009 KDIGO guidelines
ďŹ They described the recent progress in the diagnosis of
disturbances of the PTH, calcium & phosphate & metabolism
in patients with CKD plus the currently available imaging
modalities to Dx. different subcategories of CKD-MBD.
ďŹ These new tools may have the potential of allowing
personalized therapy for the treatment of CKD-MBD and
hence improving outcome.

The population-attributable risk for mortality in a large (39,530) cohort of haemodialysis patients for several laboratory abnormalities was determined.
Several variables were considered: hyperphosphataemia (high Pi, defined as serum Pi âĽ5.0 mg/dL), hypercalcaemia (high Ca, defined as serum Ca &gt;10 mg/dL), and moderate to severe hyperparathyroidism (high PTH, defined as PTH &gt;600 pg/mL) individually and in combination.
Comparison of population-attributable risk percentages for inefficient dialysis (low urea reduction ratio [URR], defined as URR &lt;65%) and anaemia (defined as haemoglobin &lt;11 g/dL) showed that the attributable risk associated with disorders of mineral metabolism (17.5%) was higher than that associated with inefficient dialysis (5.1%) or anaemia (11.3%). (6%)

For patients with CKD stages 3-5 with biochemical abnormalities of CKD-MBD and low BMD, KDIGO guidelines recommend bone biopsy before the initiation of treatment with antiresorptive agents
Biochemical laboratory and imaging tests do not adequately predict the underlying bone histology. Thus, although bone biopsy is invasive and cannot be performed easily in all patients, it is the gold standard for the diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy. Bone biopsy should be considered in patients for whom the cause of clinical symptoms and biochemical abnormalities is not certain and for whom the effect of treatment on bone needs to be assessed
Bone biopsy is the most accurate test for the diagnosis of adynamic bone disease, and the presence of adynamic bone disease is a contraindication to bisphosphonate treatment
In patients with CKD stages 3-5D with evidence of CKD-MBD, we suggest that BMD testing not be performed routinely because BMD does not predict fracture risk as it does in the general population, and BMD does not predict the type of renal osteodystrophy
Use of teriparatide is contraindicated in patients with CKD with SHPT, although it might be a useful therapy in patients after parathyroidectomy with low BMD and/or fragility fractures. No information is available regarding the use of teriparatide in patients with CKD with adynamic bone disease.
The term CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) be used to describe the broader clinical syndrome that develops as a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD, which is manifested by any one or a combination of the following:

CKD-MBD: Dysregulation and Clinical Manifestations of an Increasingly Compromised System
Background:
As renal function declines, the body fights for homeostasis through a number of renal compensatory mechanisms
After a while, renal compensatory mechanisms begin to fail and a cascade of events begins with:
a decline in urinary phosphate excretion leading to an increase in serum phosphate,
depletion of 1,25D and subsequent elevation of PTH serum levels and,
reduced urinary Ca excretion leading to an imbalance in serum Ca levels.
This dysregulation leads to clinical manifestations such as hyperphosphatemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and a potential for Ca overload
Key Point:
Patients with normal serum phosphorus levels had an increased risk of mortality1
Background:
A cohort study of patients with CKD was conducted to assess the association between higher phosphate levels and mortality1
As shown in the graph, approximately 72% of patients had an increased risk of mortality even though their phosphorus levels were within normal range, as defined by KDOQI guidelines1
A roughly linear relationship was observed between serum phosphate and mortality, with each 0.5 mg/dL increase in serum phosphorus associated with increased mortality1
When phosphate levels reached 3.5 mg/dL or above, statistically significant increases in mortality were observed1
Reference:
Kestenbaum B, Sampson JN, Rudser KD, et al. Serum phosphate levels and mortality riskamong people with chronic kidney disease. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2005;16:520-528.
Key Point:
Elevated serum phosphorus levels are associated with an increased risk of mortality1
Background:
Block and colleagues analyzed the effect of serum phosphorus disorders in 40,5381 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis1 and found that serum phosphorus concentrations &lt;3 mg/dL, and more than 5 mg/dL are associated with increased relative risk of death1
Referent range was defined as serum phosphorus concentration of 4-5 mg/dL1
This more contemporary cohort allowed for a more detailed exploration of the relationship between serum phosphorus and relative risk of death in ESRD patients in contrast to previous studies1

Treatment Target Ranges
Key Point:
The KDIGO CKD-MBD Work Group suggests normalization of target phosphorus and calcium levels regardless of CKD stage (and towards normalization for target phosphorus in CKD stage 5D)1
Background:
The rationale for controlling phosphorus levels comes from epidemiological data suggesting that elevation of serum phosphorus levels is an important risk factor for secondary hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular disease1
Moreover, epidemiological studies show a positive association between higher serum phosphorus levels and relative risk of mortality, independent of the CKD stage1
It remains unclear as to at what level of low serum calcium an increased risk of mortality exists1; however, data do not exist showing an increased risk of mortality or fracture with increased serum calcium levels1âthus, normalization of target serum calcium levels is suggested1

Effects of Vitamin D Throughout the Body
Key Points:
Vitamin D exerts effects on multiple systems in the body1
Vitamin D deficiency leads to problems involving skeletal, cardiovascular, muscular, endocrine, and immune systems1
Background:
The kidneys serve an endocrine function by converting 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 D) to 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25 D), which circulates in the plasma
1,25 D regulates calcium metabolism by stimulating calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestine
Circulating 1,25 D can bind to other cell types not directly involved in calcium homeostasis and bone health by binding to vitamin D receptors (VDR) that are widely distributed throughout the body
VDRs are present on cells in the heart, skeletal muscle, active T and B lymphocytes, breast, colon, and prostate
In addition, locally produced 1,25 D3 may exert autocrine or paracrine effects on regulation of cellular growth and differentiation in tissues other than kidney that express 1Îą-hydroxylase. These include lung, colon, prostate, and breast
However, evidence suggests that high levels (&gt;30 ng/mL) of 25 D are necessary before it becomes a substrate for extra-renal 1Îą-hydroxylase

1,25(OH)2D3 Levels and Mortality in Dialysis Patients
Key Point:
Active vitamin D therapy improved all cause and cardiovascular mortality compared with no active vitamin D therapy at 90 days after starting hemodialysis in patients who had baseline1,25(OH)2D deficiency (plasma levels ⤠13 pg/ml) 1
Background:
The chart on the left shows that patients with 1,25(OH)2D deficiency (plasma levels â¤13 pg/ml) at baseline were at significantly elevated risk for all-cause mortality in the first 90 days on hemodialysis compared with those who had 1,25(OH)2D levels &gt;13 pg/mL (used as reference group)1
The chart on the right shows that patients with 1,25(OH)2D deficiency (plasma levels ⤠13 pg/mL) at baseline were at significantly elevated risk for cardiovascular mortality in the first 90 days on hemodialysis compared with those who had 1,25(OH)2D levels &gt;13 pg/mL (used as reference group)1
No increase in risk of mortality was observed in either analysis in subjects who received active vitamin D therapy1

Compensatory Mechanism of PTH During Disturbances In Mineral Metabolism
Key Point:
As levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D decrease with glomerular filtration rate, intact parathyroid hormone levels increase as a compensatory means to restore mineral homeostasis1
Background:
Blood calcium levels are key regulators of parathyroid secretion. Because low levels of circulating 1,25 D reduce calcium absorption by the intestines, plasma calcium levels are reduced in parallel, which indirectly stimulates the secretion of parathyroid hormone2
It is not surprising, therefore that as 1,25 D levels decrease as a result of loss of renal function, that PTH levels increase as shown by Levin et al1

Elevated PTH Levels and Cardiovascular Disease
Key Point:
Elevated PTH levels are associated with cardiovascular disease1
Background:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in which medical history surveys including CVD events, were collected from 4,472 patients stages 3 and 4 CKD from the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) to determine if there is a relationship between PTH level and prevalent CVD1
Stage 3 CKD was defined as eGFR of 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 and stage 4 was defined as eGFR of 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 min1
Participants were asked âHave you been told by a doctor or health care professional of having any of the following (mark all that apply)? Heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart angioplasty, stroke, heart failure (fluid in lungs), abnormal heart rhythm.â 1
Rates of CVD were higher in those patients with higher PTH levels. In patients with PTH levels &lt;35 pg/mL, 35 to 70 pg/mL, and &gt;70 pg/mL rates of CVD were 37%, 41%, and 49%, respectively1

Treatment Initiation Ranges
Key Point:
As noted in the KDIGO Guidelines, progressive increases in PTH should be avoided as severe hyperparathyroidism may be resistant to therapy and is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD (stages 3-5D)1
Background:
Recent observational studies show an increased relative rate of death in CKD stage 5D patients who exhibit PTH values less than 2 and greater than 9 times the upper limit of normal1
Difficulty exists in establishing narrow target ranges for serum iPTH due to a number of factors including: (1) median iPTH increases and range widens with progressive CKD; (2) assay methodological problems; (3) increased resistance to PTH action with progressive deterioration of kidney function; and (4) predictive value of PTH for underlying bone histology is poor with elevated PTH values of two to nine times the upper limit of normal1
