PY - 2009 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Nephrology & Hypertension AB - The kidneys play a crucial role in the regulation of mineral metabolism by serving both excretory and endocrine functions. Each of these components becomes compromised as renal function declines. In the broadest sense, the term renal osteodystrophy encompasses all of the disorders of bone and mineral metabolism that are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Often, however, the term is used more narrowly to describe the various skeletal disorders and their histologic manifestations among patients with renal dysfunction.
