The disparity of measuring bone mineral content using bioimpedance and dual-ene...
Crispilho,Shirley Ferraz; Duque,Eduardo Jorge; Bezerra,Kalyanna Soares; Pereira,Rosa Maria R.; Jorgetti,Vanda; Elias,Rosilene M.; Moysés,Rosa M. A.Abstract Introduction: Body composition is critical for the evaluation of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and can be obtained from either multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA). Although the discrepancy between the results obtained from both methods has already been described, reasons are unknown, and might be related to secondary hyperparathyroidism...
Skeletal and cardiovascular consequences of a positive calcium balance during h...
Elias,Rosilene M.; Moe,Sharon; Moysés,Rosa M. AAbstract Patients on hemodialysis are exposed to calcium via the dialysate at least three times a week. Changes in serum calcium vary according to calcium mass transfer during dialysis, which is dependent on the gradient between serum and dialysate calcium concentration (d[Ca]) and the skeleton turnover status that alters the ability of bone to incorporate calcium. Although underappreciated, the d[Ca] can poten...
