Abstract

Renal osteodystrophy is a bone ailment associated with or worsened by chronic kidney disease (CKD), resulting in fractures and further problems. CKD-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a widely recognized term that characterizes a comprehensive systemic mineral and bone metabolism condition. Recent investigations have elucidated the involvement of several new variables in the pathophysiology of CKD-MBD, including wingless and integration 1 (Wnt) inhibitors, activin A, and myostatin. A bone biopsy is the definitive method for identifying CKD-MBD, whereas biomarkers like parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and radiological imaging are advised for initial assessment. Innovative strategies for managing CKD-MBD designed to enhance outcomes have been established.
