RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENT

Abstract

BACKGROUND Based on extensive research, ROD is a condition that impacts the bones and arises in individuals with renal disease. Various studies have found that this condition is identified by a unique range of clinical, biochemical and histologic abnormalities.Therefore, we have decided to comprehensively investigate the clinical features and prevalence of ROD in CKD patients
as a vital component of our study. MATERIALS & METHOD In total, 75 patients who had been previously identified as having CKD took part in the research study. After receiving approval from the ethics committee, comprehensive clinical, laboratory, biochemical investigations & X-ray investigation were carried out on all patients over the course of 21 months.
RESULT In our study, we found that OP shows the highest presence at 54.7%. All other findings were low, like SR. 9.3%, fracture 5.3%, ST-C, and OS show equal percentages (2.7%), and the least was SCS (13%). OP was mainly seen in patients with low calcium levels. Soft tissue calcification was associated with patients having a high calcium-phosphorous product level and was seen in both patients with soft tissue calcification. PF were seen in 4, i.e., 5.3% of the patients.
CONCLUSION We conclude that the key X-ray finding in the study was the presence of OP, characterized by reduced bone density and SR of the phalanges. Other findings include soft tissue calcification,SCS, and PF.
