Impaired renal function causes disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism leading to bone fractures and calcification of soft tissues and blood vessels. Renal osteodystrophy - a component of the chronic kidney disease and mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) - can be differentiated by bone biopsy only. The international classification distinguishes 4 forms of renal osteodystrophy: hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia, mixed uremic osteodystrophy and adynamic renal bone disease. Other diagnostic procedures correspond to those used in osteoporosis. Therapeutic options are limited.
