A longitudinal study of bone-mineral content and intestinal calcium absorption in patients with chronic renal failure. 1979

J R Juttmann, and J C Hagenouw-Taal, and L D Lameyer, and A M Ruis, and J C Birkenhäger

In 14 nondialyzed patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and at the start of treatment a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 14--47 ml/min changes in bone mineral mass (BMM), expressed in percentage of the initial value, showed a significant correlation with the mean GFR during an observation period of 16 +/- 2 mo. During a predialysis period of 6 mo BMM decreased to 97.8 +/- 3.2% of the original value in 9 patients, while after 6, 12, and 16 mo of dialysis treatment, BMM in the same patients fell to 94.5 +/- 3.0%, 92.0 +/- 3.2% and 91.8 +/- 4.6% of the initial value. As after the onset of regular hemodialysis the fractional intestinal absorption of 47Ca does not decrease but even increases in most patients, the importance of the level of intestinal calcium absorption for the development of dialysis bone disease may be questioned.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
