Beyond Creatinine - A Focus on Mineral Bone Disease
Article | IMSEAR | ID: sea-219790
Background:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a term that encompasses all degrees of decreased renal function, from damaged–at risk through mild, moderate, and severe chronic kidney failure. CKD is now a public health problem affecting an estimated 10-13% of the world population. The Kidney disease: Improving global outcomes (KDIGO) define CKD as either structural or functional kidney damage or a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months. CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a broader, newly defined term to define the mineral, bone, hormonal, and calcific cardiovascular abnormalities occurring in CKD. Ours study aims to evaluate the prevalence CKD-MBD in CKD stages 3, 4 and 5. Material And Methods:Ours is a retrospective observational study involving Patients >18 years known cases of CKD as per KDIGO guidelines with a minimum follow up duration of 3 or more months. Result:Our study population had a mean age of 52.8 years with male preponderance (72%). All of the patients had some form of MBD present. Conclusion:Our study was able to demonstrate a very high prevalence of CKD-MBD in patients of CKD indicating a need for better understanding the factors behind MBD in Indian patients and the need to emphasize on preventing and treating MBD in patients.
