TL;DR: Plasma bAP level equal or higher than 20 ng/mL, either alone or combined with plasma iPTH of 200 pg/ mL, had the highest sensitivity, specificity, and predictability values for the diagnosis of high-turnover bone disease, and formally excluded patients with normal or LTBD.

TL;DR: Between January 1, 1976 and December 31, 1990, histological diagnosis of primary glomerular diseases (PGD) was made in 480 patients born and living at the time of diagnosis in a region of France, comprising 410,664 inhabitants.

TL;DR: PYD, which is a specific serum marker of collagen breakdown, provides valuable information on bone turnover in hemodialysis patients, and is positively correlated with bone resorption parameters including osteoclast surface and osteoplast number/mm2.

TL;DR: The association of high serum beta 2M with increased bone cell number and serum markers of bone turnover suggests thatBeta 2M is either another marker of bone cell activity or an activator of bone cells in chronic haemodialysis patients.

TL;DR: In this article, les modalites reglementaires et organisationnelles du traitement par hemodialyse telesurveillee en unite de dialyse medicalisee (UDM) and en rapportons l'experience locale du centre hospitalier de Saint-Brieuc qui demontre sa faisabilite and sa fonctionnalite dans la duree (cinq ans) aupres de patients selectionnes.
