| Summary: | Renal osteodystrophy is one of the important complications in children with end stage renal disease. Non-invasive tools for evaluation of bone metabolism have been proposed in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the markers of metabolic bone disease and peritoneal clearance of these markers in children treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In this study, serum osteocalcin (OC) levels were found significantly higher in patients (107.98 +/- 99.99 ng/ml) than in the healthy control group (41.94 +/- 12.94 ng/ml; p |
