The Effects of Ibandronate or Teriparatide Therapy on Bone Histology and Biochemical Indices in Patients on Hemodialysis With Low Bone Mineral Density

October 28, 2014 updated by: Efstathios Mitsopoulos, Papageorgiou General Hospital

Hemodialysis patients with low bone density (total hip T-score <-2.5) will be assigned to receive teriparatide (those with histologic confirmation of adynamic bone disease) or ibandronate (subjects with increased osteoclast number on bone biopsy).

Follow-up period: one year. A second bone biopsy at the end of the study.
