Objective: Disorders
of mineral metabolism and bone density are common complications in chronic
kidney disease and are an important cause of morbidity. Recently used
definition is chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The
aim of our study was to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density
and influencing factors in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing
hemodialysis.
Material and Methods: In
our study, cases were evaluated by being divided into 3 groups depending on
bone mineral density (BMD). Our study included 124 cases and was designed as a
cross-sectional observational study. The demographic data of the cases were
recorded separately for each case. Routine biochemical analyses were studied.
Results: The median vit D value of the
patients with osteoporosis participated in the study was 14.44 mg/dl in the
osteopenic group and the median value of the patients without osteoporosis was
20.14 mg/dl. The lowest and highest vit D values of the patients with
osteoporosis were 3 mg/dl and 34.77 mg/dl, respectively. There was a
statistically significant difference between all 3 groups for the age variable
(p=0.002). There was a statistically significant difference between all 3
groups for the BMI variable (p=0.011). For 3 groups divided according to BMD
measurements, statistically significant results were found in the PTH,
Ferritin, Hgb, CRP, ALP, Albumin, e-GFR, hip and lumbar BMD values,
respectively (p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.004, p=0.001, p=0.003,p=0.005, p=0.001,
p<0.001, p<0.001).
Conclusion: In conclusion, our study revealed that the most
important risk factor associated with osteoporosis in patients undergoing
hemodialysis was PTH elevation and low vitamin D levels. For this purpose, BMD
measurements and biochemical parameters of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis
should be studied in appropriate periods by adhering to the guidelines. Vit D
replacement should not be neglected in order to avoid osteoporosis and to treat
the detected cases.
