Abstract
In children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) optimal control of mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is essential not only for the prevention of debilitating skeletal complications and for achieving adequate growth, but also for preserving long-term cardiovascular health. The growing skeleton is particularly vulnerable to the effects of CKD, and bone pain, fractures and deformities are common in children on dialysis. Defective bone mineralisation has been linked with ectopic calcification, which in turn leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite national and international guidelines for the management of CKD-MBD, the management of mineral dysregulation in CKD can be extremely challenging, and a significant proportion of patients have calcium, phosphate or parathyroid hormone levels outside the normal ranges. Clinical and experimental studies have shown that, in the setting of CKD, low serum calcium levels are associated with poor bone mineralisation, whereas high serum calcium levels can lead to arterial calcification, even in children. The role of calcium in CKD-MBD is the focus of this review.
