This comprehensive guide seeks to present specific, clinical-based coverage of renal osteodystrophy. It details the profound changes - brought about by renal insufficiency and failure - in calcium, phosphorous, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D homeostasis that result in structural and functional abnormalities in bone metabolism. Bridging the gap between endocrinology and nephrology, this text also offers discussion of actual disorders as well as prevention and management.
