TL;DR: Bone histomorphometry remains the gold standard in the assessment and distinction of the different types of renal osteodystrophy, but none of the other presently available diagnostic approaches such as non-invasive imaging techniques or circulating biomarkers allows a similarly precise assessment of bone turnover and mineralization.
Abstract: Bone histomorphometry remains the gold standard in the assessment and distinction of the different types of renal osteodystrophy. It reflects th sskeletal part of the mineral and bone disorder of chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD), which also comprises disturbances of mineral metabolism and soft-tissue calcifications. Unfortunately, bone histomorphometry relies on bone biopsies, an invasive procedure. None of the other presently available diagnostic approaches such as non-invasive imaging techniques or circulating biomarkers allows a similarly precise assessment of bone turnover and mineralization [...]
