| Popis: | Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have significant disorders of bone and mineral metabolism. In addition, they can also develop other bone disorders including osteoporosis. This study evaluated the bone mineral density (BMD) of patients at the start of hemodialysis treatment as well as the relationship between BMD and possible risk factors or biochemical markers. Methods: The study was performed in 82 patients (28 females, 54 males). BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and the proximal femur. Results: We found a high prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency (96%; mean levels 30.0 ± 17.7 nmol/L) and a reduction of BMD in comparison with gender- and age-matched normal population values at the total hip (Z-score = -0.31 ± 1.11) and the femoral neck (Z-score = -0.48 ± 1.16), but not at the lumbar spine (Z-score = 0.68 ± 1.81). The prevalence of T-scores ≤ -2.5 SD in the group of patients over 50 years was 52.0% in females and 33.3% in males. BMD positively correlated: with male gender and calcium levels at all measured sites, with age at the lumbar spine and with weight or BMI at the proximal femur. Conclusion: CKD patients at the start of hemodialysis treatment had a high prevalence of low T-score values, corresponding to values for osteoporosis in the general population. BMD at the proximal femur was below the expected average for age and gender, but at the lumbar spine, BMD in hemodialysis patients was above average in persons without known CKD. |
