Study findings suggest strict PTH control might help preserve kidney graft function in children.
The National Kidney Foundation recently hosted a scientific workshop to improve the clinical care of children with CKD.
The VITAL randomized clinical trial tested vitamin D and marine omega-3 fatty acid supplements in the primary prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Active vitamin D does not appear to improve bone strength or reduce fracture risk beyond PTH suppression in patients on dialysis.
On January 1, 2021, calcimimetics such as etelcalcetide were no longer reimbursed using the Transitional Drug Add-On Payment Adjustment.
Investigators examined the trajectory of nutrition parameters in patients on hemodialysis by degree of hyperparathyroidism.
Patients with calciphylaxis benefit from multidisciplinary care including nephrology, dermatology, and palliative care, according to a new review.
The 2017 KDIGO guideline for CKD-MBD may be too conservative, according to investigators.
Strict management of secondary hyperparathyroidism may be necessary to improve prognosis in patients on dialysis who have coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary intervention.
