Hypogonadism is common among men with CRF. Many of the manifestations of hypogonadism such as bone disease, are also frequently seen among dialysis patients. The goal of this study was to determine the levels of testosterone, PTH, LH, BUN, Cr, and Alkaline phosphatase (Alk.p) in men with CRF in two groups with normal and abnormal bone densitometry.   Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 63 patients with CRF were evaluated. Bone mineral densitometries (BMD) by DEXA method were requested for all patients. The level of testosterone, PTH, BUN, Cr, Alk.p and LH were compared in two groups with normal and abnormal densitometry. The results were analyzed by Pearson, T and Chi-square tests.
