title: [Multiple osteoarticular complications (dialysis-associated spondyloarthropathy) and carpal tunnel syndrome in chronic hemodialysis].
abstract: During a nine-year treatment by haemodialysis for renal failure a now 57-year-old woman developed multiple complications of the skeletal system. Acute calcific periarthritis of the right shoulder became manifest one year after the start of the haemodialysis, followed the next years by progressive arthropathy with subchondral amyloid cysts of both shoulders, effusions in the knee-joint and destructive spondylarthropathy of the middle vertebrae. Carpal-tunnel syndrome also occurred, caused by a beta 2-microglobulin amyloidosis (beta 2-microglobulin concentration in serum 42.6 ng/l) and an aluminium osteopathy. These multiple complications, observed here in one patient, are each of them typical long-term complications of chronic haemodialysis.
