Thoughness The toughness of bone is at least partly related to the ability of its microstructure to dissipate deformation energy without propagation of the crack

PTH as target of therapy is imperfect Meta-Analysis: Drug effects on serum PTH are weakly and imprecisely correlated with all-cause and cardiovascular death in the setting of CKD.PTH is unsuitable as indicator of drug efficacy. Palmer et al. AJKD 2015
FGF23 Of note, patients with a > 30% decline of FGF23 were characterized by significantly higher BAP levels, indicating higher bone turnover. Thus cinacalcet may confer highest benefit in patients with high BAP Moe et al. Circulation 2015
