Radiologic case study. Secondary hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia with a pseudofracture, and amyloid deposition.
The advancement of medical management of chronic renal failure has helped eliminate secondary hyperparathyroidism and osteomalacia. However, if a patient is recalcitrant, florid forms of both conditions can develop. Secondary amyloidosis is poorly understood but occurs in patients who are on long-term dialysis. As the survival rates for patients on long-term dialysis improve, it will be seen more frequently.
