A method of treating or inhibiting a kidney disorder can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ASARM peptide to provide a treatment for the kidney disorder (treat disease) and/or inhibit development of the kidney disorder (prophylactic). The kidney disorder can be selected from the group consisting of chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), calciphylaxis, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), end stage renal disease, and combinations thereof. The therapy can include inhibiting vascular calcification (VC), hard tissue calcification, soft tissue calcification, mineralization, or combinations thereof in the subject with the ASARM peptide. A method of inhibiting mineralization can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ASARM peptide to provide a treatment for inhibit mineralization in the subject. A method of treating hyperphosphatemia can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ASARM peptide to a subject to provide a treatment for hyperphosphatemia.
