Association between pancreatic ectopic fat deposition and QCT-assessed bone mass status in patients with chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study

Article C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 327 people with chronic kidney disease. It checked if extra fat in the pancreas is linked to weaker bones. The results show a link, but they do not prove that the fat causes the bone loss. This is an observational study, so it cannot show cause and effect.
