Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults aged 18 and older who have chronic kidney disease and related bone conditions. Participants will undergo tests to help find a new way to track their bone health without invasive procedures.

About This Trial
Treatment of renal osteodystrophy is impeded by the lack of practical and accurate tools to determine underlying bone turnover. Gold standard bone biopsy is not practical in the clinic for the vast majority of kidney disease patients and parathyroid hormone and bone alkaline phosphatase have insufficient accuracy for turnover type to safely and confidently guide treatment of renal osteodystrophy. …
