Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study has shown that the proportion of haemodialysis patients with adequate mineral metabolism parameters according to the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) guidelines is very low. The adequacy of such parameters in relation to the recommended ranges in patients with different chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages has not been reported. The objective of this study is to provide an in-depth description of mineral metabolism in the early stages of CKD in a European population, and to compare it with current recommendations for stages 3-5 (K/DOQI guidelines).
