Renal osteodystrophy.

The incidence of chronic renal disease is increasing, and the pattern of renal osteodystrophy seems to be shifting from the classic hyperparathyroid presentation to one of low bone turnover. Patients with persistent disease also live longer than previously and are more physically active. Thus, patients may experience trauma as a direct result of increased physical activity in a setting of weake...

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (Morquio syndrome).

Fig. 4 : Photomicrograph of general blood picture showing inclusion bodies in lymphocyte (Gasser cell). A 5-year-old boy was brought to our medical OPD with severe chest deformity and growth retardation. He had six siblings of which two more had similar illness in a 21-year-old sister and 1-year-old brother (Fig. 1). His parents and grand parents had no such illnesses. Clinical examination reve...

[Renal osteodystrophy and secondary hyperparathyroidism].

High-turnover bone due to excess PTH is one of the main types of renal osteodystrophy. In addition to the classic stimuli of PTH secretion such as hypocalcemia and decreased production of active vitamin D, new mechanisms has been suggested. Furthermore, skeletal resistance to PTH, a classic stimulus of PTH secretion in uremia, has been recently revisited as an underlying abnormality.

Slipped epiphyses in renal osteodystrophy.

Clinical, biochemical, roentgenological, and histological features of slipped epiphyses (epiphysiolysis) in 11 out of 112 children with renal osteodystrophy have been analysed. Characteristic age-related patterns of involvement of different epiphyses are described. Quantitative measurements of iliac bone histology, serum parathyroid hormone levels, and clinical history show the presence of more...
