چکیده

The widespread use of clhronic dialysis and renal homotransplantation, while prolonging the lives of patients with chronic renal failure, have concomitantly resulted in the appearance of severe disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and disabling renal osteodystrophy (retardation of growth and dwarfism, osteitis fibrosa, rickets or osteomalacia and, at times, osteosclerosis). Furthermore, it is apparent that the usual conservative measures, i.e., giving high doses of calcium, correcting acidosis with alkali, restricting phosphates, and giving phosphate-binding antacids orally, frequently fail to correct hypocalcemia and osteodystrophy or to reduce symptoms. Some of these measures, including chronic dialysis, may actually worsen abnormalities in osseous structure and metabolism as well as contribute to deposition of calcium salts in the soft tissue. Thus, abnormalities in calcium and phosphorus metabolism present a major obstacle to the rehabilitation of the patient with chronic renal failure. Stanbury and Lumb1 have stressed the need for interpreting the biochemical abnormalities in the plasma in relation to the osseous changes.

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...

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...

Secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure.

The metabolic bone disease associated with chronic renal failure has been described collectively by the terms "renal osteodystrophy" or "renal-glomerular-osteodystrophy" and consists of osteomalacia, osteitis fibrosa, and osteosclerosis. The skeletal abnormalities may occur either alone or in combination with one another. An increased concentration of circulating immunoreactive-parathyroid horm...

Oral manifestations in a renal osteodystrophy patient - a case report with review of literature.

Renal Osteodystrophy (ROD) is a common complication of chronic renal disease (CRD) and is the part of a broad spectrum of disorders of mineral metabolism that occurs in the clinical setting. It occurs early in the course of chronic renal failure and progresses as the kidney function deteriorates. It is an osseous alteration believed to arise from increased parathyroid function associated with i...
