2013 whose GFR is reduced due to intrinsic parenchymal damage as opposed to age-related reductions in GFR without another specific intrinsic renal diagnosis. At each level of CKD there may exist a specific form of renal osteodystrophy. The earliest form of renal bone disease (secondary hyperparathyroidism) may be defined by quantitative histomorphometry and/or biochemical profiling (elevated 1-...

Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by a typical phenotype. It may be associated with or without resistance to parathyroid hormone (pseudohypoparathyroidism). Both forms may co-exist in the same family. Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1 and Pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism occur as a consequence of reduced erythrocyte membrane coupled with Gs a...
