Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with CKD stage 4-5 (eGFR ≤ 29 mL/min/1.73 m2).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without advanced CKD or lacking CKD-MBD–related markers may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort study examines adults with CKD stage 4-5 to explore how calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and other bone markers relate to kidney function and disease progression. It aims to identify factors associated with bone and cardiovascular outcomes in CKD-MBD and to generate hypotheses about underlying mechanisms. A sub-study will describe how calcium and phosphate balance interact with eGFR and how these relationships may inform future treatments and prevention. The work builds on the TMV framework for bone pathology in renal disease and uses routine clinical measurements to characterize associations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of CKD-MBD and guide future strategies to prevent bone and cardiovascular complications in advanced CKD.
How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work in CKD-MBD has identified associations between mineral markers and outcomes, but this specific cohort is descriptive and exploratory.
