Bones of contention: Predicting and preventing fractures in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis
Perit Dial Int. 2023 Jun 25:8968608231181264. doi: 10.1177/08968608231181264. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLow bone density is common among those individuals receiving peritoneal dialysis. While cross-sectional studies support an association between low bone mineral density (BMD) and prevalent fracture, relying on bone density alone, particularly at the lumbar spine and in those with high degrees of hyperparathyroidism may underestimate fracture risk. Commonly used risk calculators in the general population have been shown to perform reasonably well in those receiving dialysis although they do not include any risk factors...
