چکیده
In a patient receiving regular dialysis prolonged hypophosphataemia due to aluminium hydroxide therapy resulted in osteomalacia and severe proximal myopathy. Both osteomalacia and myopathy responded to correction of hypophosphataemia without vitamin D therapy.

Treatment of hyperphosphataemia consists of dietary phosphorus restriction and/or dialysis and phosphate binders. Almost all dialysis patients require phosphate binders (calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, aluminium hydroxide). The use of calcium-based phosphate binders can result in chronic calcium overload, hypercalcemia and soft tissue calcification. Hypercalcemia is particularly common in p...
متن کاملOsteomalacic 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...

Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease in a mature individual, caused by lack of vitamin D or its active metabolites, on account of a number of factors. Osteomalacia is common in females and in countries with less sun shine. It typically presents with body aches, weakness, alongwith signs of bone tenderness and proximal myopathy. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical presentation and inv...
متن کاملOsteomalacia in adolescents presenting as proximal myopathy
We report three adolescent patients with osteomalacia who presented initially with clinical features consistent with proximal myopathy. All patients had low serum level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D. Furthermore, radiological investigations confirmed osteomalacia. Myopathy responded well to appropriate treatment of osteomalacia. Possible pathophysiologic explanation of myopathy in patients with osteo...
متن کاملProximal myopathy in lacto-vegetarian Asian patients responding to Vitamin D and calcium supplement therapy - two case reports and review of the literature
INTRODUCTION Severe proximal myopathy can occasionally be the first presenting complaint of patients with osteomalacia. This may lead to investigations and misdiagnosis of a neuromuscular disease, rather than a metabolic bone disease. CASE PRESENTATIONS We present here two cases of severe proximal myopathy in patients who were both of South Asian origin and lacto-vegetarians: a 31-year-old In...
