Keywords:
Dual-Energy X-ray, Bone Mineral Density, Children , Chronic Renal Failure, Hemodialysis.Abstract
Children with chronic renal failure (CRF) face substantial risk for disturbances in bone mineralization,collectively known as renal osteodystrophy. The resultant bone disease not only affects quality of life but also increases therisk of fractures and long-term skeletal complications. Early detection and ongoing monitoring of bone health are essential,
