Patients with CKD face many consequences of renal failure, including disorders of bone and mineral metabolism. The current approach to management of these mineral metabolism issues lacks comprehensive quantitative assessment, so a kinetic modeling program has been designed to quantify intake and removal of phosphorus and calcium, as well as provide recommendations for treatment and prescriptions based on total mass balance and serum concentrations. This program is known as phosphorus kinetic modeling or PKM. The modeling program and associated graphical reports have been developed as a tool for clinicians in the management of mineral metabolism in CKD patients.

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a group of disorders in which there is an alteration in acid-base homeostasis because of the impairment of nephrons to excrete hydrogen ions or reabsorb bicarbonate ions, resulting in chronic metabolic acidosis. RTA is an important cause of rickets, particularly 'resistant rickets'. Dental manifestations frequently reported in patients with RTA include enamel hypoplasia and amelogenesis imperfecta, affecting permanent dentition.

Heritable fragile bone disorders (FBDs), ranging from multifactorial to rare monogenic conditions, are characterized by an elevated fracture risk. Validating causative genes and understanding their mechanisms remain challenging. We assessed a semi-high throughput zebrafish screening platform for rapid in vivo functional testing of candidate FBD genes.

British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence, School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine & Sciences, King's College London, United Kingdom. (M.W., M.F., R.O., L.S., M.M., C.M.S.).

Background: The ECM (extracellular matrix) provides the microenvironmental niche sensed by resident vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Aging and disease are associated with dramatic changes in ECM composition and properties; however, their impact on the VSMC phenotype remains poorly studied.

Methods: Here, we describe a novel in vitro model system that utilizes endogenous ECM to study how modifications associated with age and metabolic disease impact the VSMC phenotype.

Background: The progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) affects the patient's kidney glomeruli and tubules, whose normal functioning is essential for maintaining normal calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) metabolism in the body. The risk of developing osteoporosis (OP) in patients with DKD increases with the aggravation of the disease, including a higher risk of fractures, which not only affects the quality of life of patients but also increases the risk of death.

Aim: To analyze the risk factors for the development of OP in patients with DKD and their correlation with Ca-P metabolic indices, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and Klotho.

Osteoporosis increases fracture risk and reduces quality of life in menopausal women. Although physical activity, such as walking and bone joint exercise, is known to help maintain bone health, its effectiveness needs further examination. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of physical activity, in particular walking and bone joint exercise, on enhancing bone remodeling in menopausal women.
