Demographic, hormonal and bone hystomorphometry data from observational cross-sectional study included 55 hemodialysis patients (28 women/27 men) who were evaluated for MetS and bone histomorphometry. Biochemical parameters included calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, free serum leptin, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), intact osteocalcin, sclerostin (Scl), glucose, insulin, and thyroid hormones. A transiliac bone biopsy was performed using a Bordier trephine following a course of double labeling with tetracycline (20 mg/kg/day) for 3 days with a 10-day interval. The biopsy was performed 3-5 days after the last dose of tetracycline.
