Increased Serum Leptin Level Predicts Bone Mineral Density in Hemodialysis Patients
Background. Leptin acts through the adipose-bone axis to regulate bone mineral density (BMD). This study evaluated the relationship between BMD and serum leptin levels in patients on hemodialysis. Methods. In this cross-sectional study including 98 hemodialysis patients, BMD was measured using dual...
