Renal osteodystrophy

K L Klein et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 1984 Oct.

Abstract

Patients with chronic renal failure often suffer from severe metabolic bone disease. This is usually either osteitis fibrosa cystica or osteomalacia. While parathyroidectomy is indicated in osteitis fibrosa cystica, desferrioxamine is an exciting new development in the treatment of osteomalacia.
