Renal Osteodystrophy

Renal osteodystrophy is a bone disorder that commonly occurs in people with chronic kidney disease. When the kidneys fail, they struggle to balance important minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are crucial for bone health. This imbalance can lead to weakened bones, pain, and an increased risk of fractures. Essentially, the kidneys can’t perform their normal functions effectively, disrupting the body's ability to maintain strong bones. Treatments often focus on managing mineral levels, dietary changes, and medications to help strengthen bones and reduce complications related to this condition.
