The K/DOQI guideline for bone metabolism and disease in chronic kidney disease is predominantly based on studies in haemodialysis (HD) patients. However, in clinical practice, this guideline is also applied to peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. To validate the implementation of this guideline in PD patients, we evaluated the associations between plasma concentrations outside the K/DOQI-targets and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in incident PD patients compared with HD patients.
