Persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a 3-fold increased risk of bone fracture and a 10-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease than the general population. These increased risks are related to the disturbances in the mineral metabolism, and this clinical entity is termed Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). The overall aim of the present project is to explore factors that may predict or associate with the development of bone and cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD and hopefully provide insight into underlying mechanisms and pathophysiological pathways for future treatment and prevention. In a sub study investigators aim to explore the calcium and phosphate balance in patients with CKD and describe how these associate with each other as well as with kidney function (eGFR).
