Diagnosis of Renal Osteodystrophy in Patients With Reduced Renal Function

Diagnosis of Renal Osteodystrophy in Patients With Reduced Renal Function Can 18F-PET Replace Bone Histomorphometry


Sponsor

Ditte Hansen

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Sep 26, 2018

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of the study is to 1. To describe the bone morphology in patients with reduced renal function and high or low parathyroid hormone (PTH) respectively. 2. To investigate if the non-invasive method 18-Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography (18F-PET) can describe the bone turnover and reflect the bone histomorphologic changes 3. To investigate if non-oxidized PTH reflects bone turnover


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating a procedure called bone biopsy to more accurately diagnose a condition called renal osteodystrophy — a type of bone disease that develops in people with severely reduced kidney function — by directly examining bone tissue instead of relying on blood tests alone. **You may be eligible if (kidney disease group)...** - You are 18 or older - Your kidney function is severely reduced (eGFR of 20 mL/min or lower) - Your parathyroid hormone (PTH) level is either below 150 or above 300 pg/mL **You may be eligible if (control group)...** - You are 18 or older - Your kidney function is normal (eGFR 60 mL/min or higher) - You are being evaluated for prostate health with a PSA under 40 **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have an active cancer - You are allergic to tetracycline antibiotics - You are pregnant - You have a history of kidney disease (for the control group) - You have a known metabolic bone disease or abnormal calcium/PTH levels (for the control group) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
