We measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS-BMD), 1/3 radius (1/3R-BMD), and ultradistal radius (UDR-BMD) in 59 men (4 with spine fractures and 4 with nonspine fractures) and 65 women (10 with spine fractures and 9 with nonspine fractures), all receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). The BMD at each site expressed absolutely in g/cm2 was significantly lower in women than in men (p = 0.0001). In men, the absolute and age-matched values of both 1/3R- and UDR-BMD were inversely and significantly correlated with the duration of HD, and with serum alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels (p < 0.05), whereas such relationships were obscure in women. On the other hand, the absolute values of BMD at each site in women but not in men were inversely and significantly correlated with patient age (p < 0.001). In both sexes, R-BMD was significantly lower in both the spine and nonspine fracture groups than in the nonfracture group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), whereas the only significant difference in LS-BMD was that it was lower in women with spine fractures than in women without fractures, when expressed as its absolute value (p < 0.05). By receiver operating characteristic analyses, both the absolute and age-matched values of R-BMD were better than LS-BMD as a determinant of non-spine fracture histories, and were similar to absolute LS-BMD as a determinant of spine fracture histories. We conclude that R-BMD is more valuable than LS-BMD for discriminating HD patients with all types of fractures from those without fractures.
