Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy is significant medical, economic and social problem. Over 90% of patients receiving chronic dialysis are facing some type of renal osteodystrophy. The objective of the study is to determine correlation between clinical and radiological findings in patients with renal osteodystrophy. Clinical study was performed in 60 adult patients, different sex and ages, receiving chronic dialysis, with developed renal osteodystrophy. All patients were having following symptoms: bone pain, muscle and joint pain. Muscle spasm were registered in 68.3% of patients, while proximal myopathy symptoms were registered in 86.6%.Dominant radiological findings were: subperiosteal resorption in 53.3% of patients, diffuse osteoporosis in 48.3%, rugger jersey in 33.3% and soft tissue calcification in 18.3%. We have registered statistically significant correlation of clinical and radiological findings. With this study we have confirmed that different types of renal osteodystrophy can be determined by comparing radiological, clinical and biochemical findings, especially in cases when bone biopsy cannot be performed.
