Bone and mineral disorders in chronic kidney disease (CKD-BMD) involve abnormal metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, vitamin D deficiency, increased levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). These changes are associated with several complications in CKD patients, such as skeleton deformities and bone fractures. Recent researches point out the correlation …
Introduction: The reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) is a known metabolic complication of HIV infection and its treatment, with a 2-6% loss of bone mass being observed after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Some antiretrovirals, especially tenofovir (TDF), are associated with greater bone loss. The reduction in BMD observed in dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) may ref…

Chronic renal failure is associated to a deterioration of mineral homeostasis due to bone abnormalities related to a positive calcium and phosphorus mass balance resulting in higher risk of fractures, calcification of arteries and ultimatelly leading to a worse cardiac prognosis. In clinical practice the amount of calcium in dialisate doensn't seem to be a concern and an additional thera…
