Pathogenesis of Compromised Bone Quality and Mechanics in Chronic Kidney Disease

Completed

Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Disease, End Stage Kidney Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorder, Renal Osteodystrophy, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

In brief

Kidney disease patients have a variety of bone disorders that result in bone loss and fractures. The mechanisms of these bone disorders are not clear but may be related to abnormal modification of a bone protein known as collagen. Therefore, the investigators are conducting this research study to identify underlying mechanisms that are responsible for the disruption of bone collagen and determining whether the abnormal bone collagen impairs bone strength. The investigators intend to identify these mechanisms through studying relationships between kidney disease and bone strength via bone imaging, bone biopsy and non-invasive measures from blood and skin.
