Spinal and Radius Bone Measurement in Renal Osteodystrophy

Spinal and radius bone measurement in renal osteodystrophy.

Bone Microarchitecture in Renal Osteodystrophy Patients

Aims Renal Osteodystrophy (ROD) is a systemic disorder that develops early with loss of kidney functions and is manifested by abnormalities in bone metabolism, mineralization and volume. Phosphate binders are a major constituent in chronic kidney disease management. Previous Aluminum and calcium containing phosphate binders were thought to be of detrimental effect on bone histology. The aim of ...

Bone alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme in renal osteodystrophy.

Serum total alkaline phosphatase is the most commonly used biochemical marker of bone disease in renal patients, but alkaline phosphatase originates from different organs and sometimes lacks specificity. Bone isoenzyme measurement is considered superior to total alkaline phosphatase for the assessment of bone metabolism. We have studied the value of bone isoenzyme, determined by a new. IRMA (Ta...

Bone Canopies in Pediatric Renal Osteodystrophy

Pediatric renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is characterized by changes in bone turnover, mineralization, and volume that are brought about by alterations in bone resorption and formation. The resorptive and formative surfaces on the cancellous bone are separated from the marrow cavity by canopies consisting of a layer of flat osteoblastic cells. These canopies have been suggested to play a key role i...
