title: [Is it possible to-predict fracture in CKD patients?].
abstract: Routine examination of bone mineral density(BMD)by DXA(dual energy X-ray absorptiometry)is useful to predict bone fracture in both CKD nondialysis and dialysis patients. The cutoff value of BMD to predict bone fracture is different between genders and its predictive power is better in patients with lower serum PTH levels than higher counterpart. Increase in serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase is a better predictor of the bone fracture than serum PTH levels.
