Assessment of bone health in pre-dialysis CKD patients based on TBS reference range for the Chinese population by Biao Wu, Huanhua Wu, Zheng Wang, Zhiqiang Tan, Bin Guo, Jingjie Shang, Yong Cheng, Chunyuan Zeng, Yuanfang Jiang, Qijun Cai, Jian Gong, Hao Xu

“…Furthermore, except for the FN-BMD (Osteoporosis) group, TBS-incorporated models significantly improved fracture discrimination across other groups (P < 0.05).ConclusionIn pre-dialysis CKD patients with normal or reduced BMD, TBS is significantly associated with fracture risk. Additional evaluation of bone microstructure using TBS enhances fracture risk identification, particularly in patients with relatively high BMD.…”
