Do bone mineral metabolism parameters in Chronic Kidney Disease [CKD] patients meet kdoqi guidelines? a care hospital-based cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT

Background: Chronic kidney disease [CKD] is now a public health problem with a high prevalence in Pakistan. However, there has been very little research on the profile of chronic kidney disease-related bone mineral disorders [CKD-MBD] in Pakistan. We thus aimed to assess the bone-mineral metabolism parameters in patients with CKD who are being followed at the Ziauddin University Hospital [a tertiary care hospital] in the southern city of Karachi, Pakistan
