The Spectrum of Renal Osteodystrophy
Features:
* Detailed description of the broad spectrum of renal bone disorders in adults and children
* Discusses implications for growth in children with end-stage renal disease
* Covers diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism
* Overviews diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis of adynamic bone disease
* Reviews soft tissue calcifications and cardiovascular disease
* Details the role of cytokines and growth factors in renal bone disease
* Discusses role of parathyroid hormone related peptide and receptor in skeletal development
Bone deformities, bone and joint diseases and growth retardation have long been of major concern to adults and children with chronic renal failure because of pain and frequently disabling consequences in terms of physical activity. In recent years, our understanding of the underlying causes has made major progress. In addition, new drugs have been developed for the treatment and prevention of the renal bone diseases related to renal failure that will benefit those patients affected with these problems.
Readership:
