Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
I - For healthy children Inclusion criteria * All children \<18 years * Normal renal function (eGFR 90-120ml/min/1.73m2 \[calculated by Schwartz formula\] in children \>1 year and serum creatinine \<35μMol/L in children \<1 year) * Weight, height and BMI within 2 SD of normal using WHO growth charts In order to make this study as 'real-life' as possible, free-living UK children on their usual diet and dietary supplementation (including Ca and Vit D), if any, will be included, but analysis will account for medication doses and blood levels.
Exclusion criteria
* Pre-existing bone disease - inherited or acquired * Fractures in the preceding 6 months * Glucocorticoid therapy in the preceding year, or a lifetime cumulative steroid exposure ≥6 months * Bisphosphonate therapy at any time in the past * Any acute illness in the preceding 2 weeks (when the child is unable to maintain their usual diet or has bed rest) II - For CKD and dialysis children Inclusion criteria * Children of all ages with an eGFR \<60ml/min/1.73m2, including those on dialysis.
