title: [Investigation of the bone mineral density in hemodialysis patients for different terms].
abstract: The investigate the change of bone mineral density(BMD) in hemodialysis patients for different terms of hemodialysis, 50 patients were divided into three groups according to the duration of hemodialysis. Group I was < 5 years. Group II was 5-10 years, and Group III > 10 years. The BMD of the patients were assayed by using dual energy X-ray bone absorptiometer. Serum calcium, phosphorus, aluminium, and intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) were detected at the same time. The mean BMD and serum iPTH were 0.624 +/- 0.180 g.cm-2 and 9.67 +/- 9.46 ng.cm-1 in Group I, 0.573 +/- 0.160 g.ml-2 and 10.16 +/- 28.05 ng.ml-1 in Group II, and 0.513 +/- 0.117 g.cm-2 and 10.75 +/- 24.94 ng.ml-1 in Group III, respectively. There was no statistical significance in BMD (P > 0.05) and iPTH(P > 0.05) among the above groups. The BMD of hemodialysis patients is not affected by different terms of hemodialysis.
