KDIGO (CKD-MBD) Update
This activity will highlight the key aspects of the 2017 CKD-MBD Guideline Update, with an emphasis on the rationale for the changes made to the original guideline document. Topics that will be addressed include diagnosis of bone abnormalities in CKD mineral and bone disorder, treatment of CKD-MBD by targeting phosphate lowering and calcium maintenance, treatment of abnormalities in parathyroid hormone in CKD-MBD, treatment of bone abnormalities by antiresorptives and other osteoporosis therapies, and evaluation and treatment of kidney transplant bone disease.

Learning Objectives
After participation in this activity, learners will be better able to:
- Describe the grading system used to determine the strength of the guidelines and evaluate the updates related to calcium, phosphorus and PTHi levels in both the adult and pediatric populations
- Differentiate sources of phosphorus in the diet (organic, inorganic, addition to food supply) and describe patient recommendations RDs can make to better achieve adequate phosphorus control
- Estimate how dialysis providers and government oversite will use these guidelines to adjust expected outcomes for the stages of CKD
