title: Study of the relationships between pericarditis and osteopathy in chronic haemodialysis.
abstract: Statistically significant correlations were demonstrable between the incidence of bone abnormalities due to parathyroid hyperfunction and of pericarditis in 130 patients maintained on chronic haemodialysis. Parathyroid hormone is regarded on these grounds as one of the possible factors accounting for the production of non-infective uraemic pericarditis.
