ABSTRACT: The prevalence of osteoporosis and decline in renal function increases with age. Therefore, the coexistence rate of both these conditions rises in the elderly population. Abnormalities in mineral bone metabolism are major complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, in elderly osteoporotic patients without a history of CKD, there are few reports on the relationship between calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and parathyroid hormone (PTH), and renal function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Ca, P, and PTH, and renal function in elderly osteoporosis patients with no history of CKD. We evaluated 169 patients who had been treated for osteoporosis. The eGFR decreased with age resulting in a negative correlation (r = -0.514, p p p p p
