Bone and Mineral Problems in CKD
Your kidneys help keep the right balance of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in your body. When kidneys don’t work well, these minerals can get out of balance. This can make your bones weak and increase your risk for heart problems.
Why it matters:
Weak or brittle bones (higher chance of fractures).
Extra phosphorus and calcium can build up in blood vessels, harming the heart.
Imbalance often happens quietly, without early symptoms.
Signs and symptoms (may appear in later):
Bone or joint pain
Weak muscles
Itchy skin
Fragile bones or fractures
What you can do:
Get regular blood tests to check calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D.
Limit foods high in phosphorus (like cola, processed foods, fast food).
Take phosphate binders, vitamin D, or other medicines if prescribed.
- Follow your kidney-friendly diet plan from your care team.
