By Rosa Olivia Méndez Estrada, Humberto Aispuro-Sánchez, Ana María Calderón de la Barca and 2 others.
Abstract
Background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly attributed to diabetes and hypertension and induces bone mineral density (BMD) losses, resulting in health implications.
Objective
To detect CKD in patients with diabetes and/or hypertension and to evaluate their BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral regions, and total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP).
