Bone Turnover in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5D and Healthy Controls — a Quantitative [18F]Fluoride PET Study

ConclusionsDynamic 30 min [18F]fluoride PET/CT with a population based input curve scaled to a single venous plasma sample is a feasible and precise non-invasive diagnostic method for the assessment of bone turnover in patients with CKD. The method may potentially allow for earlier and more precise diagnosis and may be useful for assessment of treatment effects, which is crucial for development of future treatment strategies.
