Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Although some descriptive and cross-sectional studies have been reported about bone mass in chronic kidney disease (CKD) children, only a few studies investigated markers of bone turnover and the bone mass measurements.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone turnover in hemodialysis (HD) children.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The children who had received dialysis for at least the preceding 6-month were included. BMD was measured for total body, the lumbar spine and the femoral neck and the blood samples were tested to assess biochemical bone turnover markers.
RESULTS: The study group was comprised of 27 patients with CKD, 9 males (33%) and 18 females (67%) with the mean±SD age of the subjects 14.9±4.5 years. Positive significant correlations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with total body bone densitometry Z-score, lumbar spine and femoral neck Z-score(r=0.43, P=0.06; r=0.41, P=0.08 and r=0.45, P=0.05, respectively) was noted. In addition, positive significant correlations calcium and total body, lumbar spine and femoral neck Z-score (r=0.52, P=0.02; r=0.28, P=0.23 and r=0.36, P=0.12, respectively) was seen. Interestingly, a positive significant correlation between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lumbar spine Z-score was found (r=0.46, P=0.04), while the correlation of this parameter with total body and femoral neck Z-score was not significant (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: In our study, majority of patients with CKD had low level of BMD. In addition, lower levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), PTH and 25 (OH) vitamins D in patients with abnormal BMD Z-scores were detected.
