Sequential changes in bone biochemical parameters and bone mineral density after renal transplant

association between renal stone, bone mineral density and biochemical parameters

background: to investigate the relationship between renal stone formation and osteoporosis. methods: eight hundred thirty healthy subjects aged between 20 and 76 years were randomly selected from 50 clusters to take part in the study. of these, 68 (8.2%) had a previous history of renal stone disease. all participants underwent clinical exami nation and bone mineral densitometry of the lumbar sp...

Factors affecting bone mineral density in renal transplant patients.

Bone disease is a major cause of morbidity in end stage renal failure. This study is aimed to assess the prevalence of abnormal bone mineral density (BMD), measured by dual photon absorptiometry (DPA) in the renal transplant population. Subjects consisted of 110 patients followed up after transplantation for between 1 and 17 years. Variables analyzed included age, sex, ethic origin, years and t...

Bone mineral density and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate bone mineral density and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism in ambulatory premenopausal female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS 30 women who fulfilled the ARA criteria for the classification of SLE were studied. Lumbar and femoral bone mineral density was determined by dual energy x ray absorptiometry. Various laboratory parameters includi...

Bone Mineral Density in β Thalassemia Major and Intermedia, Correlation with Biochemical and Hormonal Profiles

Background: Expansion of bone marrow cavity and decreased cortical and trabecular bone tissues and osteoporosis are resulted from beta-thalassemia. The aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with β thalassemia major and intermedia, and to determine their biochemical and hormonal profiles that may affect BMD. Materials and Methods: In a cross sectional study from ...
