Key takeaways

This published study looked at whether changes in bone and mineral blood markers, such as phosphate, are tied to faster kidney decline in people with advanced kidney disease. Using data from the EQUAL study, it found a link between these markers and worsening kidney function. This is an observational study, so it shows a connection, not proof that the markers cause the decline.
