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.

Calcitriol and doxercalciferol are equivalent in controlling bone turnover, suppressing parathyroid hormone, and increasing fibroblast growth factor-23 in secondary hyperparathyroidism

TL;DR: Doxercalciferol is as effective as calcitriol in controlling serum parathyroid hormone levels and suppressing the bone formation rate in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, and allows the use of higher doses of vitamin D.
Journal ArticleDOI

Official positions of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) on DXA evaluation in children and adolescents

TL;DR: The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) organized a Pediatric Position Development Conference to discuss the specific problems of bone densitometry in growing subjects and to provide essential recommendations for its clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early skeletal and biochemical alterations in pediatric chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: Elevated circulating FGF-23 levels and defects in skeletal mineralization early in the course of CKD suggest that factors other than the traditional markers of mineral deficiency play a crucial role in the development of renal bone disease.

Prevalence of Vitamin D Insufficiency in an Adult Normal Population

TL;DR: The results showed that in French normal adults living in an urban environment with a lack of direct exposure to sunshine, diet failed to provide an adequate amount of vitamin D, and the clinical utility of winter supplementation with low doses ofitamin D was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypovitaminosis D in Medical Inpatients

TL;DR: Hypovitaminosis D is common in general medical inpatients, including those with vitamin D intakes exceeding the recommended daily allowance and those without apparent risk factors for vitamin D deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marked suppression of secondary hyperparathyroidism by intravenous administration of 1,25-dihydroxy-cholecalciferol in uremic patients.

TL;DR: In conclusion, the use of intravenous 1,25(OH)2D3 administered intravenously rather than orally may result in a greater delivery of the vitamin D metabolite to peripheral target tissues other than the intestine and allow a greater expression of biological effects of 2D3 in peripheral tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arterial Calcifications and Bone Histomorphometry in End-Stage Renal Disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that therapeutic interventions associated with excessive lowering of parathyroid activity (parathyroidectomy, excessive calcium or aluminum load) favor lower bone turnover and adynamic bone disease, which could influence the development and progression of AC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occult vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal US women with acute hip fracture

TL;DR: Postmenopausal community-living women who presented with hip fracture showed occult vitamin D deficiency and suppression of parathyroid hormone at the time of fracture may reduce future fracture risk and facilitate hip fracture repair.
