Bone pathology in chronic kidney disease

Abstract

The article presents current data on mineral and bone disorders in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease. The key points of bone lesions pathology are reflected, which include impaired secretion of parathyroid hormone and phosphorus-calcium metabolism, specific osteopathy and extraskeletal calcification, the relationship between bone pathology and cardiovascular complications is indicated. The role of diagnostic tools (FRAX questionnaire, bone densitometry, biochemical parameters and new biological markers) is discussed, approaches to the interpretation of research results are defined. Both general population and specific risk factors for bone strength decrease and occurrence of osteoporotic fractures pathology in chronic kidney disease are described.
