  • Title: Clinical practice guidelines for bone metabolism and disease in chronic kidney disease: an overview.
    Author: Bailie GR, Massry SG, National Kidney Foundation.
    Journal: Pharmacotherapy; 2005 Dec; 25(12):1687-707. PubMed ID: 16305288.
    Abstract:
    The National Kidney Foundation developed and oversees the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative, a process that develops clinical practice guidelines in nephrology. Recent guidelines address the aberrations in bone metabolism and disease that occur as a complication of chronic kidney disease. These guidelines provide, for the first time, a standard approach to the detection and management of alterations in calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone metabolism. The problems and sequelae of soft-tissue calcification are discussed, and recommendations are provided for reducing the associated morbidity and mortality.
