Both RUS and CARP BA were significantly lower than in the controls. Trabecular aspect and tibial C/D ratio did not show any statistical significance. There was a positive correlation between HSDS and RUS BA delay (r =0.476, p<0.05); CARP BA delay and RUS BA delay (r=0.563, p<0.01) and RUSBA and CARP BA (r=0.891, p<0.001). In conclusion, RUS and CARP BA are both retarded and positively correlated in steroid dependent nephrotic children.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle2933573612-s2.0-0030798478928531110.1007/BF02550936Q2
