Bone disease in CKD is due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level estimation is a potential noninvasive method for the diagnosis of MBD at early stage. Aim: Treating renal bone disease should be one of the primary aims of therapy for CKD. Evaluation of the biochemical parameters of CKD-MBD (primarily phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone, and Vitamin D levels) as early as CKD stage 3, and an assessment of bone status (by the best means available), should be used to guide treatment decisions. The adverse effects of high phosphorus intake relative to renal clearance (including stimulation of hyperparathyroidism) precede hyperphosphatemia, which presents late in CKD. Early reduction of phosphorus load may ameliorate these adverse effects. Evidence that calcium load may influence progression of vascular calcification with effects on mortality, should also be considered when choosing the type and dose of phosphate binder to be used. MBD in CKD has high morbidity and mortality and hence it is important to detect it at an early stage. iPTH levels can be highly sensitive and it is one of the useful noninvasive biochemical parameters to detect MBD in CKD. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital. The study involved 60 patients of CKD. Detailed history, physical examination, and biochemical parameters were assessed in all of them. Results: There was a significant association between hypertension, diabetes with nephropathy, and highly significant association between serum iPTH and raised blood urea levels in MBD group, however there was no significant association between duration of CKD, hemoglobin, creatinine, uric acid, phosphorous, calcium, and alkaline phosphatase with MBD. Conclusions: MBD in CKD can be detected at early stage by the use of noninvasive methods of estimation of serum iPTH levels. ER -
