Biomarkers

The Importance of Bone Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Renal Osteodystrophy

Issue:

Vol 59, issue 3 (2010)

Pages:

332–7

Synopsis:

A combination of serum biochemical markers might predict underlying renal osteodystrophy better than would individual biochemical markers. A predictive model using bone histology and biochemical markers can be developed in the future.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the association of serum biochemical markers in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Jamaica for early detection of renal osteodystrophy (ROD).
