Control of mineral metabolism and bone disease in haemodialysis patients: which optimal targets?

Abstract: The findings of our observational study confirm the existence of a grey zone, in which precise biochemical targets are difficult to define, with the exception of avoiding extreme values. Given the absence of intervention trials proving the clinical usefulness of phosphorus control, and pending the results of large clinical trials on the effect of optimal PTH and calcium control on hard outcomes, the present findings may help to refine future recommendations for the treatment of chronic haemodialysis patients.

“…However, guideline development does not guarantee its clinical use. For nephrologists, clinical guidelines are important tools for making professional decisions; however, the value of these guidelines is diminished when they fail to be properly applied [17,28,29]. It is important to make sure that the guidelines used are applicable to the region.…”

“…In patients with CKD receiving dialysis who were administered cinacalcet, 29% of those in the 6-month registration trials and 21% and 33% of those (within the first 6 months and overall, respectively) in the EVOLVE clinical trial had at least one serum Ca value ,7.5 mg/dl (13). A continuous risk analysis showed a 10% increase in HR for mortality for a noncorrected serum Ca as low as ,6.37 mg/dl but also for serum Ca .9.66 mg/dl (82).…”

“…For example, many high-protein foods are rich in phosphorus, leading to hyperphosphatemia, which has been associated with renal bone disease, cardiovascular disease including vascular calcification and higher mortality risk [6][7][8][9][10][11]. As such, hemodialysis patients are frequently counseled on dietary phosphorus restriction, which may inadvertently lead to a reduction in protein intake [8,12,13].…”
