Abstract:
Renal osteodystrophy is an important concomitant disease in chronic renal failure. Secondary hyperparathyroidism cause high turnover bone. Hypocalcemia and phosphate retention stimulate the parathyroid and to proliferation of the parathyroid cells. In these days vitamin D deficiency, resistance to vitamin D, abnormality of sensitivity to calcium, direct effect of phosphorus , more severe form of parathyroid hyperplasia, abnormality of gene and increased skeletal resistance to PTH are pointed as cause of parathyroid hyperfunction.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
