Official Title: Systematic Study of Parameters of Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD)

Brief Summary: Bone and mineral disease is a key problem in patients with kidney disease. The available clinical parameters are non-specific, unproven for the assessment of the bone metabolism and do not reflect the complexity and diversity of the underlying bone pathology. The aim of this study is to use bone histology, novel bone markers and bone imaging results to establish a reliable decision model (diagnostic tool) that can be used to guide the individual therapy.
