Renal Osteodystrophy: A Fresh Approach
Completed
Conditions studied: Renal Osteodystrophy
In brief
There are two major goals of this project: 1. Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss. 2. Identification of the optimal combination of noninvasive tests for definition of the turnover component of ROD.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Aged 18 years or older;
- Chronic maintenance dialysis of at least 3 months' duration;
- Mental competence;
- Willingness to participate in the study;
- Calcidiol levels within normal range.
You may not qualify if…
- Pregnancy;
- Systemic illnesses or organ diseases that may affect bone (except type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus);
- Clinical condition that may limit study participation (e.g., unstable angina, respiratory distress, infections).
- Chronic alcoholism and/or drug addiction;
- Participation in a study of an investigational drug during the past 90 days;
- Allergy to tetracycline.
- Planning to move out of the area within 2 years of the study;
- On active transplant list;
- Treatment within last 6 months with drugs that may affect bone metabolism (except for treatment with calcitriol, vitamin D analogs and/or calcimimetics).
- Calcidiol level below the normal range. The current routine clinical practice in our dialysis clinics is to check calcidiol status twice yearly and supplement with vitamin D according to serum calcidiol levels. It is therefore unlikely that a substantial number of patients will be excluded due to this exclusion criterion.
