Medical Crossfire: An Expert Panel Debates Key Clinical Issues in Mineral Metabolism and Mortality in CKD.  (ASN Renal Week Official Symposium. November, 2005, Philadelphia, PA)
This is a bit of a novel format. First Drs. Coyne, Moe, and Martin each give a very brief overview of mineral metabolism in CKD, and then they launch into an hour discussion of vascular calcification, control of serum phosphorus, and audience questions, using the Medical Crossfire™ format. Coyne: What are the associations between Ca, Pi, their product, and PTH vs. mortality in ESRD and CKD? How is this modified by active vitamin D treatment? What is Ca absorption with the various Ca-containing binders? Moe: What are traditional and non-traditional risk factors controlling vascular calcification? How can calcium load and vitamin D affect vascular calcification? Martin: As renal function falls, how do Ca, Pi, and PTH change? How can we better understand Pi balance in CKD patients? What are the potential pitfalls and advantages of the various classes of Pi binders? Finally, as mentioned initially, the main thrust of this program is in the discussion sections, which are presented in both video and audio formats. (more...)
