Abstract
There is a high prevalence of AAC in relatively young dialysis patients awaiting transplantation and their AAC scores are inversely related to the TBS but not to DXA-derived BMD parameters. In patients with CKD on dialysis, TBS assessment reflects microarchitectural abnormalities of bone not captured by DXA. The inverse relationship of TBS to vascular calcification may provide insights into bone-vascular interactions in CKD.
