Abstract
The Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) was originally published in 2009, which assists practitioners in clinical diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of CKD-MBD. However, the Guideline Work Group acknowledged the lack of sufficient evidence for the base of recommendations. The Guideline included specific research recommendations to encourage investigators to help fill the gaps and bolster the evidence base. With the accumulation of related results of multiple randomized and controlled trials and prospective cohort studies since 2009, 2017 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of CKD-MBD represents a selective update on the prior guideline published in 2009. Specifically, the topic areas for which updated recommendations are issued include the diagnosis of bone abnormalities in CKD-MBD, treatment of CKD-MBD by targeting phosphate lowering and calcium maintenance, treatment of parathyroid hormone abnormalities in CKD-MBD, and so on. A total of 12 recommendations were reevaluated and updated based on new data. This report interprets the updates on 2017 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of CKD-MBD and describes the results of these proceedings, which highlights the significance of KDIGO CKD-MBD guideline in clinical practice.
