Quantitative microfocal radiography of children with renal osteodystrophy; comparison with laboratory and histological findings

摘要: High definition microfocal radiography permitted the quantitative assessment of radiographic features renal osteodystrophy in phalanges 11 children stable chronic failure, treated with phosphate binders for 1 year. The most consistent feature was subperiosteal cortical resorption, expressed as a ratio total length resorbed bone/total bone x 100. It found that extent significantly greater middle phalanx and on ulnar surface phalanges. radiological findings over duration disease were compared laboratory assessments histomorphometry. percentage resorption at base line its change during study period correlated level serum parathyroid hormone levels same period. No other significant correlations between or
