title: [Clinical characteristic of adynamic bone].
abstract: Suppression on both bone formation and absorption is a characteristic histology of adynamic (or aplastic) bone (ABD). This new entity of renal osteodystrophy started to appear in bone biopsy findings in 1983. Most significant etiology of adynamic bone is relatively lower serum PTH level. Any study has failed to demonstrate that ABD would increase the incidence of bone fracture in dialysis patients. However, ABD increases the risk of hypercalcemia because a decrease in calcium uptake by bone and might shorten the life span of dialysis patients.
