Hypohyperparathyroidism: a model for renal osteodystrophy?

A Novel Study on Non-invasive Assessment of Renal Osteodystrophy among Iranian Hemodialysis Patients

Background: Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common bone and mineral metabolism disorder in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to determinate the frequency of the subtypes of ROD and evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical as the well as radiographic markers for the diagnosis of ROD among hemodialysis patients in Golestan province of Iran.  Materials and Methods...

Sagliker Syndrome in a Patient with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Renal Insufficiency: A Case Report

Sagliker syndrome is a rare form of renal osteodystrophy resulted from untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is described by severe skeletal deformities, high level of PTH in patients with chronic renal failure, and deformed face. This paper reports a 44-year-old male patient with the mentioned characteristics. In addition to the unique clinical features, high levels of ALP and PTH hormon...

Spontaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures in a young adult with chronic renal failure.

Pathologic femoral neck fracture due to renal osteodystrophy is rare. We report the case of a young adult patient with chronic renal failure who presented with bilateral spontaneous femoral neck fractures due to renal osteodystrophy. The pathophysiology of renal osteodystrophy and the treatment of hip fractures in patients with renal failure is discussed.

New Biochemical Serum Markers of Bone Turnover in Renal Osteodystrophy

Renal osteodystrophy is a multifactorial disorder of bone remodelling that develops in patients with chronic renal failure. During the last few years numerous biochemical markers of bone turnover have been proposed for the non-invasive diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy. Several enzymes and matrix proteins produced by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, including collagen type I degradation products, h...

Spinal and radius bone measurement in renal osteodystrophy.
