Evidence model. Arrows represent relationships and correspond to a question or questions of interest. Solid arrows represent well-established associations. Dashed arrows represent associations that need to be established with greater certainty. The relationships between laboratory abnormalities and organ diseases other than bone and cardiovascular diseases are not depicted here. In addition to the laboratory abnormalities shown, there are other factors that are determinants of bone and cardiovascular health, which are not depicted. CKD, chronic kidney disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; EBCT, electron beam computed tomography; IMT, intimal-medial thickness; MSCT, multislice computed tomography; PTH, parathyroid hormone; (q)CT, (quantitative) computed tomography; (q)US, (quantitative) ultrasound; QOL, quality of life.
