Kidney disease patients have a variety of severe bone disorders that result in rapid bone loss and fractures. We are doing this research study to determine relationships between bone quality determined from bone imaging and bone biopsy and by non-invasive measures from blood and skin. We are trying to identify non-invasive markers of bone quality in kidney disease patients.
