    BackgroundExcess cardiovascular burden in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been attributed to the occurrence of CKD-Mineral Bone Disease (CKD - MBD). This study aimed to determine the spectrum of CKD-MBD among Nigerians with CKD using Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF 23) and intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH).MethodsCross sectional survey of 105 patients with non-diabetic CKD and 104 controls. Information obtained were demographics, aetiology of CKD, features of CKD-MBD. Serum iPTH and FGF 23 were assayed.ResultsThe mean ages were 48.7±15.3 vs 48.6±17.4 years while 54.7% and 45.2% were males for cases and controls, respectively. The mean plasma FGF 23 (392.8±35.3 vs 133.8±22.7 RU/mL and plasma iPTH (289±25.6 vs 118±10.8 ng/L, respectively. The frequency of elevated FGF 23 (45.7% vs 24.0%, p<0.01) and abnormal iPTH (53.3% vs 14.1%, p- 0.01) were higher in cases. The prevalence of MBD were (59.0% vs 14.4%, p<0.01) in cases and controls while dialysis status OR 2.94, 95% CI (1.2803-5.3645), and elevated FGF 23 OR, 1.87, 95% CI (1.1782-5.4291) were associated with CKD-MBD.ConclusionThe study demonstrated high prevalence of CKD-MBD among patients with non-diabetic CKD while FGF23 and iPTH were useful assays in the diagnosis of CKD-MBD among Nigerians with CKD.© 2022 Raji YR et al.
