Trabecular bone score in kidney transplant recipients
Abstract
It is uncertain whether bone mineral density (BMD) can accurately predict fracture in kidney transplant recipients. Trabecular bone score (TBS) provides information independent of BMD. Kidney transplant recipients had abnormal bone texture as measured by lumbar spine TBS, and a lower TBS was associated with incident fractures in recipients.IntroductionTrabecular bone score (TBS) is a texture measure derived from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry …
