Bone Mineral Density and Serum Biochemical Predictors of Bone Loss in Patients with CKD on Dialysis

BACKGROUND: and objectives Use of bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is controversial for diagnosing bone loss in CKD patients on dialysis. The alternative quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is expensive and requires high radiation exposure. This study compared...
