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...
متن کاملRenal 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 ...
متن کاملUsing the ratio of serum osteoprotegerin ligand to osteoprotegerin to evaluate renal osteodystrophy in dialysis patients.
Osteoclast function is important in the development of renal osteodystrophy (ROD). Osteoclast activity is modulated by the osteoprotegerin ligand-osteoprotegerin (OPGL/OPG) system. In the present study, we checked levels of serum OPG and soluble OPGL in dialyzed patients and correlated those levels with routinely measured parameters of bone metabolism. The study was carried out in 39 patients o...
متن کاملSurvival of Dialysis Patients Using Random Survival Forest Model in Low-Dimensional Data with Few-Events
Background:Dialysis is a process for eliminating extra uremic fluids of patients with chronic renal failure. The present study aimed to determine the variables that influence the survival of dialysis patients using random survival forest model (RSFM) in low-dimensional data with low events per variable (EPV). Methods:In this historical cohort study, infor...
