This document provides guidelines for the diagnosis, evaluation, prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). It was developed by an international work group convened by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). The guidelines include recommendations for monitoring laboratory parameters like calcium, phosphorus and PTH levels at different stages of CKD. They also provide guidance on evaluating and managing bone disease in CKD patients, including suggestions on using bone biopsies and bone mineral density tests. The guidelines are meant to help standardize and improve the care of CKD-MBD worldwide.
