[Skeletal muscle in uremia].
A post mortem histochemical study of girdle muscles was performed in 54 persons having died of uremia (42 of them treated by long-term dialysis). The most important findings was an atrophy of 2B-type fibres which was combined with osteomalacia in 36% dialysed patients. An etiopathogenetical discussion included toxic effects of parathormone and aluminium ions, disturbance of glycolysis and uremic carnitine deficiency.
