Despite a growing population of patients starting hemodialysis in China, little is known about markers of mineral bone disease (MBD) and their management. We present data on prevalence and correlates of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism from the China Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS), with evaluation of whether these laboratory markers triggered changes in management.
