Enteral Ca-Intake May Be Low and Affects Serum-PTH-Levels in Pre-school Children With Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) mineral bone disorder (MBD) is challenging in growing children due to the high amount of calcium needed for normal bone mineralization and the required dietary phosphate restriction, which often includes intake of calcium-rich products such as milk. Therefore, enteral calcium-intake (Ca-I) was calculated. Patients: We looked at pediatric CKD-Patients aged 0-6 years. Design: We used a retrospective analysis of Ca-I from dietary data collections. Ca-I below 60% or above 100% of the D-A-CH and the KDOQI reference values were considered as severe Ca deficiency or Ca overload, respectively. Results: We had 41 children, median age 1.1 (range 0-5.8) years, body weight 7.3 (2.4-19.9) kg, and length 68 (48-105) cm at the time of first d
