title: [X-ray findings in bones of patients with chronic renal insufficiency under chronic hemodialysis program].
abstract: In the chronic dialysis program, taking into consideration the duration of the dialysis, we sought in 25 patients (average age 34 years) for the radiological signs of the uraemic osteopathy, of the ectosteal calcification and the vascular calcification of the type Mönkeberg. In our patients a radiologically visible affection was to be proved at a duration of the dialysis of more than 3 months. Size and kind of the alterations depended on the age of the patients. In patients younger than 40 years we established an accumulation of isolated soft tissue or osseous processes, in patients older than 40 years the combination of multilocular osseous changes with calcification of the soft tissue or vascular calcium was of interest. Calcifications of the vessels of type Mönkeberg we could not find in patients younger than 40 years also at a duration of the dialysis of more than 1 year. This work shall be starting point of further observations on patients with chronic renal insufficiency during the course of dialysis, especially after changing of the calcium content of the dialysis solution.
