1. It is mild with  slight increase in turnover and normal mineralization;

 2)  It causes osteitis fibrosa, with  increased turnover and normal mineralization;

3)  Increase in osteomalacia with decreased turnover and abnormal mineralization;

It has suggested that bone biopsies in patients with CKD should be characterized by determining bone turnover, mineralization, and volume (TMV system)
