An excellent dialysis symposium was held today at the USZ. Prof. Pieter Evenepoel (UZ Leuven) underlined that renal osteodystrophy is very common among patients with CKD. Renal biopsy is still the gold standard for diagnosis. Alternatively, bone turnover markers (BALP, PINP, TRAP-5b) might be used in estimating bone metabolism. Peritoneal dialysis is also a treatment option for older patients with ESRD. However, as Prof. Andreas Vychytil (AKH Vienna) emphasized, it should be tailored to each patient individually. #USZ Nephrologie  #CKD-MBD #Peritoneal dialysis
