Risk factors of hip fractures in chronic kidney disease patients
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
In the Western World the general population is getting older. This implies a higher prevalence of osteoporosis as well as a greater incidence of patients with chronic kidney disease. These two conditions increase the riskof bone fractures. Metabolic and hormonal disarrangement in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) negativelyaffects bone remodeling as it promotes a decrease in Vitamin D availability, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, high secretion of parathormone and chronic metabolic acidosis. The NHANES III showed that even moderate-to-severe CKD
patients may present with a significant increased riskoffracturewhich is justified by hyperparathyroidism at the earlystages of the disease.
