Bone mineral density is not diminished by mild to moderate chronic renal insufficiency.
Kidney Int. 2002; (5): 1814-20
Persons with end-stage renal disease are at higher risk for osteopenia and hip fracture relative to the age-matched general population. Persons with mild to moderate chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) may have reduced bone mineral density (BMD) as a result of abnormalities in acid-base and vitamin D-parathyroid hormone homeostasis.
