ABSTRACT
The chronic kidney disease-bone and mineral disorders (CKD-MBD) represents a dinamic area of research. Recently, new factors such as FGF-23 have been added to the classic list of regulators of bone metabolism, which include calcium, phosphorus, PTH and calcitriol. Vascular calcification, one of the most important complication of CKD-MBD is regulated by a complex variety of promoters and inhibitors. The relationship between vascular calcification, bone loss and mortality, together with the existence of likely common signaling pathways are subject of interesting investigations.

Las alteraciones del metabolismo óseo en el escenario de la enfermedad renal crónica (CKD-MBD) constituyen un dinámico campo de estudio. Al conjunto de reguladores clásicos del metabolismo óseo tales como calcio, fósforo, hormona paratiroidea (PTH) y calcitriol se ha añadido el factor de crecimiento fibroblástico 23 (FGF-23). La calcificación vascular, una de las complicaciones más importantes de la enfermedad renal crónica, está sujeta a una compleja regulación en la que intervienen factores promotores e inhibidores del proceso de mineralización. La asociación entre calcificación vascular, desmineralización ósea y mortalidad y la existencia de factores y vías de señalización comunes está siendo objeto de interesantes investigaciones (AU)
