title: [Arthropathy of the fingers in hemodialyzed patients with chronic renal failure. Apropos of a study of 44 patients].
abstract: Arthropathy affecting the small joints of the hand are one of the osteo-articular complications of chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis. Amongst the 44 patients studied, there were 9 cases of arthropathy of the fingers. The clinical characteristics (age, duration of hemodialysis) and paraclinical characteristics (oxygenated free radical activity indicators, serum levels of aluminium and beta-2-microglobulins) appear to be specific to this population and may help us to understand the pathogenesis of the joint lesions.
