Hemodialysis bone disease: Correlation between clinical, histologic, and other findings

Abstract: This paper explores in patients with dialysis osteodystrophy the relationship between clinical features and histological, radiological, and biochemical findings. Eighty-five patients treated by hemodialysis for more than 6 months were studied. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Bone pain in patients on regular hemodialysis is usually a symptom of developing osteomalacia but not of hyperparathyroidism or osteoporosis. 2) Many patients with histological osteomalacia and radiological features of osteomalaci… Show more

“…The present patient is unique because the development of this syndrome preceded the institution of dialysis. In all other respects, the clinical, biochemical and histologic features are similar to those previously reported [1][2][3]. The diagnosis of osteomalacia was made from the bone histology of two iliac crest bone biopsies performed 1 year apart.…”

“…All previous instances of this syndrome which includes osteomalacia, bone frac tures, PTH concentrations ranging from undetectable to minimal elevations, and a tendency to develop hypercal cemia with low dosages of any vitamin D analogs, have been reported only in maintenance dialysis patients [1][2][3]. The present patient is unique because the development of this syndrome preceded the institution of dialysis.…”

“…Additionally, aluminum suppresses PTH secretion [87] and can also induce resistance to PTH and vitamin D [88]. Hypoparathyroidism and other states of reduced bone turnover accelerate the accumulation of aluminum [11, 89, 90, 91]. Thus, diabetes mellitus may be an additional predisposing factor [8, 92].…”
