Ckd-Mbd

Treatment of renal osteodystrophy is impeded by the lack of practical and accurate tools to determine underlying bone turnover. Gold standard bone biopsy is not practical in the clinic for the vast majority of kidney disease patients and parathyroid hormone and bone alkaline phosphatase have insufficient accuracy for turnover type to safely and confidently guide treatment of renal osteodystrophy. In the present investigation, the investigators will study a microRNA approach as a novel non-invasive biomarker of turnover for renal osteodystrophy.

This study evaluates the role of genetic in the development and progression of different nephropaties with particular attention to: * AKI * CKD * Hypertension * ADPKD * CKD-MBD * Patients with decompensated heart failure undergoing either medical or surgery therapy * Patients with hematologic cancer exposed to chemotherapeutic agents or undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation * glomerular diseases
