Bone Metabolism<br />

Patients at stage 4 and 5 should have regular calcium, phosphate and<br />

parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations measured. Specimens need to be in<br />

path lab within 1 hour. Therefore it would be recommended that the specimens<br />

are taken at the phlebotomy clinic at Russells Hall Hospital. Blood requests<br />

should include:<br />

• Calcium phosphate<br />

• PTH<br />

• Bicarbonate (in selected patients)<br />

• Serum calcium and phosphate plus alkaline phosphatase (in selected<br />

patients)<br />

• 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (in selected patients)<br />

It is recommended that the management of bone metabolism is carried out by<br />

specialist nephrologist, unless practices are confident to do so under advice from<br />

the nephrology dept. Investigations into bone metabolism are included in the<br />

one-stop clinic assessment and in the shared management plan with primary<br />

care.<br />
