Changing patterns of renal osteodystrophy with chronic hemodialysis

1970 | Transactions of the American Society of Artifical Internal Organs | DeVeber GA, Oreopoulos DG, Rabinovich S, Lloyd GJ, Meema HE, Beattie BL, Levy D, Husdan H, Rapoport A. | 16:479-85.
The concept that osteomalacia becomes progressively worse on chronic dialysis was reinforced by the findings in the repeat bone biopsies in that 6 of the 8 patients showed a significant increase in their osteoid index. . . . Thus, the progression of osteomalacia appears to be the main reason for the increasing incidence of bone pain and pseudofractures which we and others have observed in patients on chronic dialysis for periods longer than 6 months. Jowsey, et al, has reported similar findings.
