Abstract:
The paper discusses bone mineral and bone disorders associated with chronic nephropathies that are a logical consequence of reduced renal function. These are principally driven by changes in parathormone production and vitamin D synthesis. Bones are usually affected by renal osteopathy - osteodystrophy with abnormities of bone turnover, mineralization and volume, and with growth retardation in children. Extra-skeletal calcifications may occur, of which vascular wall localization is the most serious. A collection of pathologies develops, now termed chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).
