Renal osteodystrophy:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal osteodystrophy is a bone disease that occurs in patients with end-stage kidney disease. The kidneys play an important role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, and when the kidneys are not functioning properly, these levels can become imbalanced, leading to weakened bones and skeletal deformities. It can also lead to other complications such as fractures and bone pain. It does not typically result in kidney stones, thick strong bones, or reduced jaw size due to bone remodeling.
