Hip fracture incidence increases with progressive CKD. As patients age in the general population, there is a higher incidence of hip fracture. This incidence increases with progression of CKD. Data from Alem et al. (25) for patients on dialysis and the general population from Olmstead, Minnesota and Naylor et al. (24) for CKD stages 3 and 4 courtesy of the Canadian Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Pt-yrs, patient years.
