title: Chronic kidney disease-related mineral and bone disorders.
abstract: The clinical practice guidelines, their scope, limitations and applicability within the field of mineral and bone disorders have been analyzed. The different available guidelines have been compared and their content has been put into the perspective of the user. The aim has been to review their accuracy and relevance for the key set of mineral and bone disorders, and not to attempt to rewrite them or provide new guidelines based on the authors' feelings and experience.
