Cortical PQCT Measures Are Associated With Fractures in Dialysis Patients
Abstract
To determine if pQCT could identify HD patients with fractures, we conducted a cross-sectional study in 52 men and women on HD. We found that cortical, but not trabecular, pQCT measures were associated with fractures.
