Clinical Trial: Osteoporosis & Renal Disease: Research in Primary Health Care Services

U.S., Oct. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07848490) titled 'Osteoporosis & Renal Disease: Research in Primary Health Care Services' on Sept. 23.

Brief Summary: Osteoporosis, a silent and multifactorial systemic skeletal disorder, severely compromises bone strength and significantly increases the risk of fragility fractures. Despite its high prevalence (affecting ~10% of Portuguese over 50), it remains critically underdiagnosed and undertreated, with over 80% of fragility fractures occurring in untreated individuals.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) profoundly exacerbates bone fragility, giving rise to CKD-associated osteoporosis, a complex skeletal disorder often integrated within CKD-Mineral an...
