WARNING: SEVERE HYPOCALCEMIA IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED KIDNEY
DISEASE
- Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2),
including dialysis-dependent patients, are at greater risk of severe
hypocalcemia following denosumab products administration. Severe
hypocalcemia resulting in hospitalization, life-threatening events and
fatal cases have been reported.
- The presence of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD)
markedly increases the risk of hypocalcemia in these patients.
- Prior to initiating Jubbonti in patients with advanced chronic kidney
disease, evaluate for the presence of CKD-MBD. Treatment with Jubbonti in
these patients should be supervised by a healthcare provider with expertise
in the diagnosis and management of CKD-MBD.
