Serum Irisin Level Is Positively Associated with Bone Mineral Density in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
Background. Irisin is a circulating hormone-like myokine that plays an important role in bone metabolism. We performed a cross-sectional study to investigate whether serum irisin levels correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods. Blood samples w...
