Association between bone turnover markers and bone mineral density after 12 months of exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-5: a post-hoc exploratory sub-study of the RENEXC randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) disrupts mineral and bone metabolism, increasing fracture risk. Exercise may improve physical performance and help preserve bone mineral density (BMD), but data on the relationship between BMD and bone turnover markers during long-term exercise in CKD are limited. We explored pot...
