When to use
CKD-mineral bone disorder assessment.
How it works
Ca × PO₄ product (mg/dL units). > 55 mg²/dL² is associated with calcification risk.
Key points
- Mainly used in CKD-MBD.
- KDIGO now emphasises individual Ca and PO₄ trends.
- High product warrants review of phosphate control.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Calcium | 9.0 mg/dL |
|---|---|
| Phosphate | 5.0 mg/dL |
→Ca × PO₄ product45mg²/dL²
- Interpretation：Within commonly used target.
