In the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) comes to the disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism and extra-skeletal calcification. In subsequent stages of CKD, these processes intensify, leading to a deterioration in the quality of life and disability. They are also a major cause of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular causes in CKD. In 2005, the Organization of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KIDGO), proposed replacing the term Renal Osteodystrophy in mineral and bone complications CKD (chronic kidney disease mineral and bone related disorders; CKD-MBD) as the disorder is not confined to the skeleton. CKD-MBD is manifested by the presence of changes in laboratory tests (corrected serum calcium, organic phosphate, parathyroid hormone, concentrations of vitamin D derivatives), changes in bone (bone metabolism, bone mineralization and trabecular bone volume), the occurrence of calcifications in the soft tissues and the arterial vessels.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury involves inflammation and intrinsic renal damage, and is a common complication of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) confers an increased mortality risk. We determined the renal long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with baseline CKD, and the risk factors prompting renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation and mortality.

Introduction: This study investigated the role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)/Klotho in the mortality of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), excluding those with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2021 to May 2022. Patients who tested positive for COVID-19 via polymerase chain reaction and were hospitalized, were classified into two groups (survivors and non-survivors) at the end of their hospital follow-up.
