Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its impact on bone health remains understudied. Methods: We collected data from CKD patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m², including clinical information, 25- hydroxyvitamin D levels, and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using DEXA between August 2020 and August 2021.

Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), is an important health problem in Mexico. BMD is a highly heritable trait, with heritability estimates of 50-85%. Several candidate genes have been evaluated to identify those involved in BMD variation and the etiology of osteoporosis.

In osteoporotic bone, the quality of the bone-to-implant interface is decreased, which may lead to early implant failure. Screw anchorage can be improved by augmentation. This effect is mainly investigated with a pull-out test.

Osteoporosis is a complex systemic skeletal disease that leads to an increased risk of fracture, usually of the vertebra, hip, wrist and humerus. The disorder is characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD), disrupted bone microarchitecture and alterations in the amount and variety of proteins in bone. During the last years a better understanding of the cellular mechanisms operating in bone remodeling, both for healthy and affected bones, was gained [26].

Osteoporosis and fractures may increase due to hypoestrogenism in menopause and cytochrome P450 inducing AEDs. Recent studies suggest lower bone mineral density (BMD) in adults and children with epilepsy, irrespective of AED treatment. Both idiopathic epilepsy and symptomatic epilepsy are associated with reduced BMD, with the greatest reduction in symptomatic generalized epilepsy (Sheth & Hermann, 2008). However, the pathophysiological underlying mechanisms are far from understood and likely multifactorial.
