Inverse relationship of bone mineral density and serum level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in peritoneal dialysis patients

OBJECTIVE: Chronic kidney disease is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, the relationship between BMD and the fasting serum concentration of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) was evaluated in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
