Bone density measurements in pediatric patients with renal osteodystrophy

Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can selectively measure the densities of cortical and trabecular bone, but there is limited information about its use in patients with renal osteodystrophy. Thus pQCT (Norland XCT-2000, Stratec, Pforzheim, Germany) was performed at the ultradistal r...

Description
Summary:Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) can selectively measure the densities of cortical and trabecular bone, but there is limited information about its use in patients with renal osteodystrophy. Thus pQCT (Norland XCT-2000, Stratec, Pforzheim, Germany) was performed at the ultradistal radius in 21 patients aged 16+/-3.6 (SD) years on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis. Trabecular bone density (TBD) was higher in patients, 206+/-16 mg/cm(3), than in controls, 182.7+/-24.8 mg/cm(3) ( P
