ABSTRACT
The frequency of metabolic bone disease related to secondary hyperparathyroidism was studied in 47 haemodialysis patients, using biochemical, radiological parameters and bone biopsy [30 males, 17 females; mean age 48 years]. The duration on dialysis ranged from 1-5 years. Hypocalcemia was found in 47% while 62% had raised phosphorus levels and 49% raised alkaline phosphatase. Serum parathyroid hormone was elevated in 86%, while in 13% it was markedly raised. On radiological examination there was generalized osteopenia in 49% and decreased bone density in 21%. In 30% no radiological abnormality was detected. In 40% bone biopsy revealed osteomalacia, mixed osteodystrophy 21%, osteoporosis 8.5% and in 25% no histological abnormality was observed
