Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a wide range of disorders of mineral and bone metabolism. Understanding the pathophysiology in mineral metabolism and bone diseases is very important, as recent evidence has suggested the concept of bone-vascular axis in CKD. Our preliminary findings suggest that CKD-related T2 changes in the medial meniscus may precede alterations in other cartilage regions.
