Activity Description

Chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a complex syndrome characterized by disruptions in calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) levels. These disruptions lead to alterations in bone morphology and systemic effects, with elevated mortality rates primarily due to cardiovascular complications. Critical aspects of CKD-MBD include serum imbalances of calcium, phosphorous, PTH, and vitamin D, affecting bone health and extraskeletal calcifications. Evidence suggests their associations with adverse outcomes such as increased fracture risk and cardiovascular mortality. Diagnostic strategies include blood tests and radiological imaging, with treatment focusing on controlling phosphate, calcium, vitamin D, and PTH levels based on individual patient characteristics and metabolic abnormalities.

This activity focuses on exploring CKD-MBD's pathophysiology, evaluation, and management, highlighting the role of the interprofessional healthcare team in patient care. This activity also addresses the multifaceted nature of CKD-MBD by examining its pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic strategies, and evidence-based treatment options based on clinical guidelines and recommendations to improve outcomes associated with this multifactorial condition. Effective management of CKD-MBD entails interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare providers, including nephrologists, endocrinologists, and pharmacists, and emphasizes effective communication among team members. This collaboration enables participants to develop a comprehensive understanding of the condition's management, leading to improved patient outcomes through optimized treatment plans and patient care.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.
