Patients with nephrotic syndrome have low blood levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) most probably because of losses in urine, and a vitamin D-deficient state may ensue. The biological consequences of this phenomenon on target organs of vitamin D are not known. This study evaluates one of these
Studies of bone and mineral metabolism were made in 22 patients with chronic alcohol abuse and varying degrees of liver damage. None of the patients had clinical evidence of metabolic bone disease, but quantitative bone histology showed that six had osteoporosis, three osteomalacia, and two
During the course of chronic renal failure (CRF) in man, renal osteodystrophy (osteitis fibrosa and/or osteomalacia) gradually develops. The present study aimed to establish a similar type of CRF leading to renal osteodystrophy in rats. During progressive CRF development over 225 days after 5/6
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism in Vietnamese immigrants living in southern California.
METHODS
Of 14 Vietnamese patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who were observed between 1991 and 1996, 50% (7 patients; 2 men and 5 women) had normal and/or fluctuating levels
OBJECTIVE
Few studies have focused on bone disease in patients with chronic kidney disease under conservative treatment. The objective was to evaluate bone disease in patients with chronic kidney disease.
METHODS
Case series, at the Nephrology Division, Hospital Universitário Pedro
Renal osteodystrophy is a metabolic bone disease occurring in patients with end-stage renal failure. The aim of the study was to compare serum concentrations of some bone markers in hemodialysed (HD) patients and in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CADO). We studied two
BACKGROUND
Information on renal bone disease (RBD) is sparse in Nigeria. The prevalence of RBD in a dialysis population worldwide ranges between 33% and 67% and it increases with progression of renal insufficiency.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence and magnitude of RBD in patients with end stage
With progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disorders of mineral metabolism appear. The classic sequence of events begins with a deficit of calcitriol synthesis and retention of phosphorus. As a result of this, serum calcium decreases and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is stimulated, producing in
A study of serum proteins in patients on regular hemodialysis has shown that many have low serum transferrin levels but near normal serum albumin and normal or raised pre-albumin levels. Hemoglobin values were related to transferrin levels. Low transferrin levels also occurred in patients with
To examine the effectiveness of 22-oxacalcitriol (OCT) injection on the improvement of severe osteitis fibrosa, we studied 10 hemodialyzed patients (age, 59 +/- 12 years). The initial OCT dose was 5 microg and was administered three times weekly at the end of each hemodialysis session. OCT doses (1,
BACKGROUND
Serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP) is a new marker of potential clinical use to monitor osteoclastic activity and bone resorption rate. The relationship between histomorphometric parameters of bone resorption and serum TRACP was evaluated in 14 chronically dialyzed
Large tendon rupture is a rare catastrophic occurrence in dialysis patients. Pathogenesis of this has been variably thought to be due to malnutrition, insufficient dialysis, amyloidosis, chronic acidosis, or hyperparathyroidism. We investigated contributory causes and timing of this complication in
This cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and pattern of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) in Tripoli, Libya. A total of 103 randomly selected patients, of whom 53% were males, were investigated. Their mean age was 47.6 +/- 12.5 years.
