Role of fibroblast growth factor-23 in renal disease activity and bone density involvement in patients with lupus nephritis

Paper B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

In patients with lupus nephritis, kidney disease was linked to lower bone density. This study used data from 100 patients with lupus nephritis and found that mineral bone density was lower in those with more kidney damage. This could increase fracture risk.
