CORRELATION OF RADIOMORPHOMETRIC INDICES OF THE MANDIBLE AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN PATIENTS WITH SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM DUE TO CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Index of morphometric rays; chronic kidney disease; hyperparathyroidism
Objective: The objective was to correlate radiomorphometric indices and biochemical analyzes as an auxiliary method in bone evaluation in male and female patients with chronic kidney disease - bone and mineral disorder (BMD-CKD) and controls. Materials and biochemicals were obtained: Mental index (MI), Mental foramen height (HMF), Total mandibular height (MM), Panoramic mandibular index (PMI), Original height of the mandible (OHM), Alveolar bone resorption distance from the mental foramen to the alveolar bone crest (MF-ABC), cortical mandibular index (MCI), trabecular bone pattern, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and CaxP product. The Mann-Whitney U test, the chi-square test and the Spearman correlation were applied at a significance level of 95%. Results: There was a moderate and significant negative correlation between MI, PMI and PTH in female patients with DCM BMD, as well as enter THM, MF-ABC and CaxP. The CCm and trabecular pattern indicated alteration in bone quality in the male patients. Conclusions: Radiomorphometric evaluation was considered a useful and noninvasive auxiliary method to detect possible alterations in the mandibular bone trabeculation and bone trabeculation and patients with CKD-BMD
