[K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for management of renal osteodystrophy in predialysis patients].
Blood levels of PTH (parathyroid hormone) begin to rise when GFR falls below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and evidence of bone disease due to hyperparathyroidism may be present at Stage 3 of chronic kidney disease (CKD). IntactPTH(i-PTH) is a useful test in detecting high turnover bone disorder and low turnover bone disorder. The Work Group taken target range of serum i-PTH in predialysis patients by their opinion. Dietary phosphorus should be restricted when the serum levels of i-PTH are elevated above target range of CKD stage. If phosphorus and i-PTH levels can not be controlled within the target range, despite dietary phosphorus restriction, phosphate binders should be prescribed. Only calcium based phosphate binders are available in predialysis patients in Japan. To avoid soft tissue calcification, total elemental calcium intake should not exceed 2,000 mg/day. If vitamin D deficiency are present, vitamin D2 should be supplied. But we can't measure serum 25(OH) D and prescribe vitamin D2 in Japan. Low dose of active vitamin D sterols are effective on renal osteodystrophy in predialysis patient. Active vitamin D sterols should be prescribed from low doses and serum calcium levels and renal function should be checked frequently. It is necessary to evaluate this K/DOQI (Kidney disease outcomes quality initiative) guideline and to establish guideline in Japan.
