Research Article: Use of 3D-DXA in the assessment of bone structure among patients with chronic kidney disease
Abstract:
Introduction: Patients in later stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a 2- to 14-fold increase in fracture risk. Bone mineral density (BMD) assessment is limited due to the inability to measure trabecular and cortical bone characteristics and the interference of aortic calcifications.
