Background: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) patients have a huge morbidity and mortality. Only relatively minor progress in therapeutic strategies has been made in the past decades. This is at least partially due to a lack of predictive diagnostic tools allowing personalized treatment of CKD-MBD patients.
Summary: In this review we describe recent progress in the diagnosis of disturbances of calcium and phosphate metabolism in patients with CKD-MBD, measuring biological active nonoxidized parathyroid hormone as well as the overall likelihood of a patient to get calcified.
Key Message: There is hope. The new tools have the potential of allowing personalized therapy for the treatment of CKD-MBD and hence improving outcome.
