Chronic hemodialysis is associated with lower trabecular bone score, independent of bone mineral density: a case-control study

ConclusionsHD patients have lower TBS than controls matched for LS BMD, indicating altered bone microarchitecture. Also, the magnitude of TBS reduction in HD patients is constant at any LS BMD. Adjustment for TBS partially corrects the absolute 10-year fracture risk.
