Abstract:
Objective To research the changes of the lumbar bone mineral density(BMD) in maintenance hemodialysis(HD) patients, and significance of quantitative computed tomography(QCT) on lumbar bone mineral density measurement.Methods The lumbar BMD (L 2～4 ) were measured by QCT in fifty maintenance HD patients ,and a comparison of data was made between HD patients and normal subjects.Results The BMD of HD patients were significantly lower than those of the sex-age matched group,and it were dropping with prolongation of hemodialysis duration. Conclusion The BMD in HD patients decrease obviously,and there was correlation between the BMD and duration. QCT-BMD is a useful sensitive diagnostic method for renal bone disease in HD patients.
