Renal Bone Disorder

Renal bone disorder is a condition that occurs in people with kidney disease, where the kidneys fail to maintain a proper balance of minerals in the body, like calcium and phosphorus. This imbalance can lead to weakened bones and other complications because the kidneys can't activate vitamin D properly, which is essential for bone health. As a result, bones may become brittle or deformed, causing pain and increasing the risk of fractures. Treatment often involves dietary changes, medications, and sometimes supplements to help manage these mineral levels and protect bone health.
