We investigated the clinical epidemiology of mineral bone disorder markers in prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients in Xinjiang, the largest province in China. Data were obtained from 59 hospitals. A total of 3725 patients tracked from January 1 to December 31, 2014, were enrolled. Serum calcium (Ca) levels, phosphorus (P) levels, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels were analyzed. Serum Ca levels were lower compared to the International Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS4) and the Chinese DOPPS. The hypercalcemia rate was similar to DOPPS4 and lower than in the Chinese DOPPS. Serum P levels were higher than in DOPPS4 and lower than those in the Chinese DOPPS. Hyperphosphatemia rates were higher than DOPPS4 and lower than Chinese DOPPS. Serum iPTH levels were higher than in DOPPS4 and the Chinese DOPPS. We demonstrated higher serum P and iPTH levels in Xinjiang HD patients than in the DOPPS4 and Chinese DOPPS. In contrast, serum Ca levels were lower than the other two studies. High hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia rates may suggest that HD services in Xinjiang are inadequate. A multidiscipline chronic kidney disease (CKD) care program needs to be established to improve chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) target achievement in Xinjiang.

Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disorder in Diabetes Mellitus PatientsDiabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two diseases with increasing prevalence and adverse outcomes that represent an international health problem. Chronic kidney disease- mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is defined as a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD manifested by either one or a combination of the following: abnormalities of calcium, phosphorus, PTH, or vitamin D metabolism; abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, volume, linear growth, or strength and vascular or other soft-tissue calcification. Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism are prevalent in CKD and are an important cause of decreased quality of life, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; these disturbances settle in earlier and have a more severe evolution in DM patients.

The definition, evaluation, and classification of the mineral abnormalities and bone disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD) should encompass all three clinical components: • Abnormalities in serum biochemistries • Vascular calcification • Bone abnormalities This principle was discussed at a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes consensus conference, resulting in a recognition of the shortcomings of the current classification and a recommendation for the development of new terminology. The recommendation was that the term “renal osteodystrophy” be used exclusively to define the bone pathology associated with CKD. The many clinical, biochemical, and imaging abnormalities that have heretofore been identified as correlates of renal osteodystrophy should be defined more broadly as a clinical entity or syndrome called “chronic kidney disease – mineral and bone disorder.” The hope is that this new terminology will enhance communication and facilitate research worldwide.


Objective: the present study was aimed to evaluate the role of pharmaceutical services in improving the outcome of mineral bone disorder in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. Methodology: One hundred and twenty patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) screened for eligibility, seventy-six patients enrolled in the study and randomly allocated into two groups: pharmaceutical care and usual care, both groups interviewed by the pharmacist using specific questionnaire for assessing the quality of life (QoL). All the drug related problems (DRPs) including drug-drug interactions (DDIs) were recorded by the pharmacist. Blood samples were collected and utilized for analyzing the levels of vitamin D, phosphorous, calcium, albumin and parathyroid hormone at baseline and three months after. The pharmaceutical care group received all the educations about their medications and how to minimize DRPs; improve the QoL. Additionally, the pharmaceutical intervention included correcting the biochemical parameters. Results: Pharmaceutical care significantly improved patients QoL and minimized DRPs and DDIs. It was also effective in improving the biochemical parameters. Conclusion: Pharmaceutical care has a positive impact on improving the outcome of patients with CKD-MBD through attenuating DRPs, improving the biochemical parameters and the QoL.

Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is characterized by abnormalities in serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) and associated with morbidity and mortality. Previous publications from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) have demonstrated country differences in the prevalence and treatment of CKD-MBD among hemodialysis patients in participating European countries. We aim to compare the distribution of CKD-MBD related labs and treatments across countries in a contemporary population of European hemodialysis patients. Method DOPPS is an international prospective cohort study of hemodialysis patients ≥18 years of age. Patients are enrolled randomly from a representative sample of dialysis facilities within each nation at the start of each study phase. The current analysis includes n=1,701 patients from 91 facilities in the initial prevalent cross section of Europe DOPPS phase 7 (2019-present; Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK). Results from Belgium should be considered preliminary as initial questionnaire completion is ongoing. Results The % of patients with a high PTH (>600 pg/mL) ranged from 6% in Italy to 24% in the UK, with 12-17% having high PTH in all other countries. Mean serum total calcium ranged from 8.7 in Germany to 9.1 mg/dL in the UK (Table). Mean serum phosphorus varied from 4.5 in Belgium to 5.3 mg/dL in Germany. Dialysate calcium of 2.5 mEq/L was predominant in Germany, Sweden, and the UK while 3.0 mEq/L was the most common prescription in Belgium, Italy, and Spain. Calcimimetic prescription ranged from 13% in the UK to 32% in Spain. Etelcalcetide prescription ranged from 1% in the UK to 12% in Spain and 14% in Italy. Active vitamin D prescription ranged from 27% in Belgium to 75% in Sweden. Nearly all vitamin D prescriptions were administered intravenously in Spain versus about half in Italy; in all other countries, the route of active vitamin D administration was primarily oral. Patient age and dialysis vintage varied by country, potentially contributing to some of the observed country differences in MBD marker levels and treatment practices. Conclusion CKD-MBD related abnormalities in PTH, serum phosphorus and calcium remain common in European dialysis patients, with prevalence varying considerably by country. Substantial international variation in CKD-MBD treatments was also observed in prescription of vitamin D and calcimimetics. Uptake of the relatively new calcimimetic, etelcalcetide, varied considerably by country. A detailed understanding of the effect of treatment variation on CKD-MBD marker levels and patient outcomes is needed to provide important insights for the European HD community in optimizing management of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
