Long-term treatment of uraemic osteodystrophy with 1-alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol. 1976

S P Nielsen, and E Binderup, and W O Godtfredsen, and H Jensen, and J Ladefoged

Three adolescents on regular haemodialysis were treated for more than one year with 1alphaOHD3 in doses of 0.25 - 10 mug/day orally. All the patients had hypocalcaemia, a high serum level of alkaline phosphatase and signs of uraemic osteodystrophy on X-ray. Clinical signs of bone disorder were present in two cases. During the treatment serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase normalised, and there was a marked improvement in the X-ray changes. Clinical improvement also took palce but not to the same extent as indicated by the laboratory data. It seems therefore important that treatment should start before severe bone lesions are present. Careful control of the treatment is necessary to avoid hypercalcaemia.

D012080 Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder Decalcification of bone or abnormal bone development due to chronic KIDNEY DISEASES, in which 1,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN D3 synthesis by the kidneys is impaired, leading to reduced negative feedback on PARATHYROID HORMONE. The resulting SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM eventually leads to bone disorders.

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.
