Osteoporosis frequently complicates long-term hemodialysis, with dual-energy x-rays absorptiometry uncovering widespread reductions in bone mineral density.
Femoral neck osteoporosis affected 32.5% of subjects, whereas lumbar spine involvement occurred in 27.5% of evaluated chronic hemodialysis patients.
Cross-sectional study of 40 hemodialysis patients links parathyroid hormone to bone loss, highlighting the need for dual-energy x-rays absorptiometry screening.
