About this episode

The episode discusses the overlooked issue of osteoporosis in chronic kidney disease patients and its implications.

We obsess over PTH, calcium, and phosphate — yet our patients are quietly, inconveniently, fracturing. Hip fracture rates in dialysis patients dwarf the general population, and with very high mortality rates. Hugo Diniz asks Hanne Skou Jørgensen the uncomfortable question: have nephrologists been missing osteoporosis all along? DEXA’s comeback, bone turnover markers, and a practical screening algorithm.
