title: [Bone mineral density in children with end-stage renal disease].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate bone mineralisation in comparison to chronological age, bone age and high age in children with end-stage renal disease. Fourty-four patients (16 female, 28 male) aged 7-16 years were examined. DXA bone densitometry of total body, bone age evaluated by Greulich-Pyle method and high age were performed in all patients. In our patients bone, and high age were significantly decreased in comparison to chronological age. In contrast mean value of Z-score TG BMD bone and high age compared to mean value of Z-score TB BMD for chronological age were increased significantly. We conclude that bone mineralisation should be compared with or high age not to chronological age in patients with end-stage renal disease.
