...Abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism associated with increased mortality in CKD include hyperphosphatemia [11, 12], hypo- and hypercalcemia [13], hypo- and hyperparathyroidism [14] and hyperphosphatasemia [15]; these have recently been grouped under the umbrella term of CKDrelated mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) [16]....

...A number of clinical studies have also shown an association between elevated serum calcium and increased risk of myocardial infarction and vascular calcification in both CKD patients and in the general population (Yamada et al., 2007; Kovesdy et al., 2010; Larsson et al., 2010; West et al., 2010)....

...only had data on PTH levels in a subgroup of patients; hence, we could not account for the confounding effects of it in the entire population, but we were able to use instead serum ALP as a marker of increased bone formation and an independent risk factor of mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients (41,42)....
