title: Histological diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy.
abstract: Histology and histomorphometry are the two primary methods of using bone biopsies to diagnose renal osteodystrophy. However, appropriate diagnoses can only be rendered when there is complete understanding of bone structure, of they way bone is processed for histology, and of the manner in which analyses of samples proceeds. In the future, modern applied molecular biology techniques will be added to these standards and redefine diagnoses.
