Influence of keto acid (KA) treatment on renal osteodystrophy.
A marked improvement of renal osteodystrophy was achieved after a combined treatment with keto acids and vitamin D in patients with chronic renal failure. Results were checked by histological investigations. The biochemical background of the successful treatment was analysed. A regression of hyperparathyroidism and improvement in vitamin D status are the cause of this phenomenon.
