Mild increase in cortical porosity diameter was found in youth with T1D and eGFR decline, however, overall measures of bone microarchitecture on HR-pQCT were similar between both groups and there were no statistically significant changes in bone biomarkers. Hence, skeletal impairments were limited in youth with different eGFR trajectories near peak bone mass. Longitudinal HR-pQCT studies are needed to further understand the impact of eGFR decline on bone microarchitecture. Optimal glycemic control, normal BMI and vitamin D status were supported by this study as important markers for good bone health.
