title: Different patterns of renal osteodystrophy in Iberoamerica.
abstract: The various forms of renal osteodystrophy are predominant hyperparathyroid bone disease, mixed uremic osteodystrophy, low turnover osteomalacia, and adynamic bone disease. The present study analyses a total number of 1,209 bone biopsies from 5 different countries (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Portugal, and Spain). Low turnover osteomalacia and mixed uremic osteodystrophy were more common in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina than in Portugal and Spain whereas predominant hyperparathyroid bone disease was seen more often in Portugal and Spain. In all centers, independent of the aluminum staining technique used, the extent of aluminum deposited in bone was greater in patients presenting with low bone turnover, whether from low turnover osteomalacia or adynamic bone disease, than in the predominant hyperparathyroid bone disease. In summary, even though recent reports have indicated that, over the last decade, the incidence of aluminum-induced toxicity was reduced, aluminum still seems to be implicated in a great percentage of symptomatic low bone remodelling lesions in Iberoamerica.
