The mineral and bone metabolism disorders (MBD) are
common in patients with chronic kidney disease. Conventionally, these disorders
are collectively termed as renal osteodystrophy. We can see mineral and bone
disorders in patients with chronic kidney diseases, calcium and phosphorus
levels in patient’s blood to be out of balance due to imbalance of hormones.
This leads to kidney failure and dialysis.
The kidneys assume an essential part in maintaining
sound bone mass and structure by adjusting phosphorus and calcium levels in the
blood. Healthy kidneys actuate a type of vitamin D which a man expends in
sustenance, transforming it into calcitriol, the dynamic variety of the
vitamin. Calcitriol helps the kidney to maintain blood calcium levels and
advances the arrangement of bone. The kidneys likewise expel additional phosphorus,
adjusting levels of phosphorus and calcium in the blood. It also helps to
maintain the best possible level of phosphorus in the blood keeping the bones
healthy.
