Objectives: Although bone biopsy is
considered the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of renal
osteodystrophy; it is not suitable for routine clinical practice due to its
invasive nature. The present
study was aimed to evaluate and compare the
bone mineral status using dual energy
X-ray absorptiometry of patients with
or without chronic kidney disease in young population with elevated parathyroid hormone
levels.
Methods: This was a single center, cross-sectional,
retrospective study conducted in patients younger than 45 years of age. The study was performed in the outpatient clinic of a
university hospital. Patients
with elevated parathyroid hormone levels were included.
Results: Among them, 29 had renal insufficiency, 158 had normal
renal function. Measured bone mineral
density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
and laboratory values were collected from patient files. The primary end point was to assess the efficiacy of dual
energy X-ray absorptiometry in patients with or without renal failure. Except
Z score at Ward’s triangle, all of the T and Z scores at lomber, femur neck, trochanteric, and
intertrochanteric areas were found significantly lower in
patients with chronic kidney disease compared to those without
(p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry seemed to be a
reliable method for detection of osteoporosis in premenopausal female and male
patients younger than 45 years of age with or without renal
failure with elevated parathyroid hormone levels.
