A retrospective study of end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis with renal osteodystrophy-associated fragility fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nephropathy associated metabolic disorder induces high incidence of fragility fracture in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. As the risk factors and prognosis of fragility fracture in ESRD patients are unclear, more research is needed. This study aimed to evaluate various risk factors for ESRD-related fragility fractures, explore factors affecting the prognosis of patients with such fractures, and provide information for prevention and treatment of renal osteopathy to improve the prognosis of patients.

Methods

In this retrospective case-control study, the case notes of 521 ESRD patients who received maintenance dialysis for at least 3 months were examined. Finally, 44 patients diagnosed with fragility fractures were assigned to the fragility fracture (FF) gr
