Abstract
Our meta-analysis suggests that BMD is lower in patients with stage 5 CKD who have fractures. Future studies need to determine whether this association is independent of confounding factors, measurement of BMD is useful for predicting future fracture risk, and fractures may be prevented by treatments that preserve BMD.
