Bone mass measurement by DXA should be interpreted with caution in the CKD population with vascular calcification

Bone mass measurement by DXA should be interpreted with caution in the CKD population with vascular calcification

Background: KDIGO guidelines suggest the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with CKD 3a-5D. Previous studies have demonstrated an association between trabecular bone mass loss and coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression. This study...
