Definition, evaluation, and classification of renal osteodystrophy: A position statement from Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)

TL;DR: It is recommended that the term renal osteodystrophy be used exclusively to define alterations in bone morphology associated with CKD, and the term CKD-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) be used to describe a broader clinical syndrome that develops as a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of the calcimimetic cinacalcet HCl on cardiovascular disease, fracture, and health-related quality of life in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

TL;DR: Combining results from 4 clinical trials, randomization to cinacalcet led to significant reductions in the risk of parathyroidectomy, fracture, and cardiovascular hospitalization, along with improvements in self-reported physical function and diminished pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: Pathogenesis, Disease Progression, and Therapeutic Options

TL;DR: Treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD patients should include a combination of dietary phosphorus restriction, phosphate binders, vitamin D sterols, and calcimimetics, and future strategies may focus on the stimulation of apoptotic activity of hyperplastic parathyroid cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Achieving NKF-K/DOQI™ bone metabolism and disease treatment goals with cinacalcet HCl

TL;DR: In subjects on dialysis with secondary HPT, cinacalcet facilitates achievement of the K/DOQI-recommended targets for PTH, calcium, phosphorus, and Ca x P.
