Characteristic skeletal changes occur in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. The aim of this study was comprehensively to record bone volume changes in the spine, from C2 to L5, after a long history of hemodialysis. The spinal columns of nine autopsy cases who had undergone 4 to 15 years of dialysis were thoroughly examined. The age-related control group consisted of 26 autopsy cases with intact skeletons. A iliac crest biopsy facilitated a direct comparison of the diagnostic biopsy location and the spinal column. A newly developed preparation technique enables a combined two- and three-dimensional analysis to be made, so that in addition to the histologic image, the directly underlying three-dimensional structure can be analyzed. The spine deformity index (SDI), the bone volume (BV/TV), and the trabecular interconnection (TBPf) was quantitatively evaluated. The SDI shows vertebral fractures in renal osteodystrophy (ROD) types I and II in spite of a trabecular bone volume within normal limits. The trabecular bone volume shows a distribution throughout the spinal column familiar from the skeletally intact control group. The plateau-like curve line, decreasing from the cervical spine to the lumbar spine is, however, 5% lower in ROD. BV/TV values of 51.2% and 74.1% in the 2nd lumbar vertebra are clearly lower than in the corresponding iliac crest biopsy. Cases with a longer history of hemodialysis show higher BV/TV values irrespective of age and sex. Normal BV/TV does not mean physiological linking. Three-dimensional analysis in ROD shows, in comparison to the controls, a much stronger restructuring of the architecture than can be assumed from the two-dimensional histological sections.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.
