Summary Reports from 55th ERA-EDTA Congress
The conundrum of treating gout in patients with CKD
presented by Jakub Závada
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the general population of the Western world, with an estimated prevalence ranging from 1.4%, in the UK and Germany, to 3.9% in the USA. However, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the prevalence is much higher, reaching 24% in those with CKD stages 3-4 in Germany, and nearly 30% in CKD stage 4 patients in the USA. As many as 31% of these patients are not treated at all, while nearly half of them (47%) are undertreated. Furthermore, patients with gout have much higher risk of having CKD.

New paradigms of the kidney – Vascular-bone axis in CKD
Presented by Klaus Olgaard
There has been no significant progress in the therapeutic management of chronic kidney disease (CKD)-mineral bone disorders (MBD) since the introduction of KDIGO CKD-MBD Guidelines in 2009, hence, an urgent need exists to better understand the pathophysiology of this condition. The new paradigm on the parathyroid-kidney–vascular-bone axis has revealed that CKD-MBD consists of a fascinating number of complex disturbances in the tissue cross-talk between these different organs in uraemia.
