Osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy: a trial of phosphate-enriched dialysis fluid.

Osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy: a trial of phosphate-enriched dialysis fluid.

To assess whether phosphate depletion is an aetiological factor in osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy we undertook a prospective trial of phosphate-enriched dialysis fluid, in association with oral 1alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol, for this condition. Thirty patients started the trial; of the 27 who completed more than 6 months' treatment, 14 had iliac crest bone biopsies at the beginning and en...

Phosphate control in dialysis

Prevention and correction of hyperphosphatemia is a major goal of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) management, achievable through avoidance of a positive phosphate balance. To this aim, optimal dialysis removal, careful use of phosphate binders, and dietary phosphate control are needed to optimize the control of phosphate balance in well-nourished patients on a standar...

Renal osteodystrophy in pediatric patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is one of the mostfrequent complications in pediatric uremic patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), and each case requires a different therapeutic approach. In the present study, we characterized ROD in pediatric patients on chronic PD. We studied 20 patients (12 boys, 8 girls) for a 12-month period. The mean age of the patients was 5.82 +/- 5 years. We allocated each ...
