Cytokine accumulation in osteitis fibrosa of renal osteodystrophy

Cytokine accumulation in osteitis fibrosa of renal osteodystrophy.

Bone marrow fibrosis occurs in association with a number of pathological states. Despite the extensive fibrosis that sometimes characterizes renal osteodystrophy, little is known about the factors that contribute to marrow accumulation of fibrous tissue. Because circulating cytokines are elevated in uremia, possibly in response to elevated parathyroid hormone levels, we have examined bone biops...

Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica Mistaken for Malignant Disease

A 65-year-old man with back pain had plain radiographs that showed multiple osteolytic bone lesions of the pelvis, femur and L-spine; an magnetic resonance imaging scan of the L-spine showed extensive bony resorption with a posterior epidural mass involving the L1 spinous process; these findings suggested multiple myeloma or bony metastasis. However, all serology testing was negative. The parat...

Generalized Osteitis Fibrosa with Parathyroid Adenoma

or disseminated sclerosis but I was told that she had had some pain around the groin, that her doctor had sent her for X-ray of the pelvis, and that a large destructive lesion had been found in one of the pubic rami. A surgeon saw her and advised that she should be admitted to a chronic hospital: the diagnosis was secondary tumours of bone. When I first looked at this X-ray picture of the pubis...

Normacalcaemic primary hyperparathyroidism with osteitis fibrosa.

THE diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism has been classically based upon the demonstration of high plasma calcium and low plasma phosphorus concentrations and an excessive urinary excretion of calcium. In recent years, however, it has become recognized that patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may present with plasma calcium concentrations that are within the normal range (George et al...
