But, the KDIGO-2009 guideline could not provide high quality data regarding the biochemical tests related with bone mineral disorder in CKD. The aim of our study was to analyse the relationship between bone mineral densitometry and clinical and biochemical parameters in chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Besides the demographic parameters, routine hematological and biochemical analysis results of PD patients followed up in our clinic were recorded. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at lumbar vertebrae and femur neck using DEXA machine. The mean lumbar T- and femur T-score were -1.03±1.20 (minimum:-3.73; maximum:+1.75) and -2.49±1.20 (minimum:-4.63; maximum:-0.51), respectively. Lumbar T score was significantly higher than femur T score (p}, number={4}, publisher={Sağlık Bilimleri Araştırmaları Derneği}
