[Osteopathy and serum parathormone and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels in patients on long-term haemodialysis (author's transl)].
Skeletal radiological changes were analyzed in 22 patients treated by chronic haemodialysis. Furthermore, the serum parathormone and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations were determined. X-ray evidence of renal osteopathy was found in 13 patients (59%). Extraskeletal calcification, subperiostal erosions and cystoids were the predominant lesions. Serum iPTH concentrations were increased in 21 out of 22 haemodialyzed patients. The serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentration was normal. The results of this study seem to indicate that other factors apart from secondary hyperparathyroidism have a share in the development of renal osteopathy in patients on chronic haemodialysis.
