Risks of Hip and Nonvertebral Fractures in Patients With CKD G3a-G5D: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Disordered mineral metabolism complicates chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the effect of reduced kidney function on fracture risk has not been fully established. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the risks for hip and nonvertebral fractures in people with CKD. We also investigated the effects of age, sex, and CKD stage.
