The study aims to evaluate the relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the risk of fractures in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Nationwide observational cohort design
Population consisting of individuals with non-dialysis-dependent CKDG3-5
Analysis of fracture risk in relation to levels of PTH and ALP
PTH and ALP levels were positively correlated with increased fracture risk in the CKD cohort.
Specific numerical data are not provided in the abstract, but the association was significant.
Abstract
Our nationwide observational cohort study demonstrates that PTH and ALP were positively associated with fracture risk in non-dialysis-dependent CKDG3-5.
