Cortical Bone Mechanical Properties Are Altered in an Animal Model of Progressive Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which leads tocortical bone loss and increasedporosity,increases therisk of fracture. Animal models have confirmed that these changes compromise whole bone mechanical properties. Estimates from whole bone testing suggest that material properties are negatively affected,...
