Abstract

Mineral bone disease (MBD) is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this study is to determine the characteristics of CKD-MBD among adult patients with CKD in South-South, Nigeria. One hundred and fifty consecutive consenting chronic kidney disease patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this study were recruited. Patients had a detailed clinical assessment, biochemical and radiological evaluations for CKD-MBD. Biochemical investigations included serum calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase while the radiological investigations included X-ray of the skull, spine, wrist and phalanges. The age range of the patients was 22-80 years, with a mean of 45.1 (±11.9) years. There were 90 males and 60 females with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Symptoms suggestive of CKD-MBD in the study population were bone pain and pruritus occuring in 34.9% and 12.0% of the CKD-MBD patients. Other symptoms presented by the patients included leg swelling in 126 (84%), frothiness of urine in 123 (82%), vomiting in 109 (72.7%), facial puffiness in 102 (68%), haematuria in 18 (12%) and chest pain in 73 (48.7%) of the patients. The mean values for serum PTH, serum calcium, serum phosphate, alkaline phosphatase and caxpo4 product among the CKD-MBD patients were 205.06±112.6 pg/ml, 2.56±0.73mmol/l, 1.63±0.63mmol/l, 109.26±65.57IU/L and 4.07±1.28mmol2/l2 respectively. There was hypercalcaemia in 44.6%, hypocalcaemia in 26.0%, hypophosphataemia in 12.0% and hyperphosphataemia in 29.3% of the patients. High alkaline phosphatase was observed in 36.0% while 8.7% had low alkaline phosphatase. There was high calcium x phosphate product in 34.0% of the patients. Radiological features in keeping with CKD-MBD was present in only 6% of those with CKD-MBD. Hypercalcemia is the major biochemical abnormalilty in patients with CKD-MBD in our environment.
