“…Bailey et al [19] reported aseptic necrosis of the head of the femur in 22 dialysis patients who had not been treated with glucocorticoids. Briggs et al [7] studied calcium and phosphorus metabolism in 11 patients who developed aseptic necrosis and compared them with 10 patients who did not develop this con dition and concluded that preexisting and coexisting metabolic bone disease predispose to aseptic necrosis.…”

“…Preexisting metabolic bone disease has been suggested as a pathogenetic factor in the development of osteonecrosis by Bailey et al [2], Hall et al [18], and Chatterjee et al [7]. In Chatterjee's study [7], a series of 60 patients, followed from 1 to 7 years, aseptic necrosis occurred in 44% of the 16 patients who devel oped hypercalcemia, but in only 7% of the 44 patients without posttransplant hypercal cemia.…”

A retrospective study of 100 patients followed for 1–4 years after successful renal transplantation was undertaken to assess the amelioration of previously present metabolic bone disease and to determine the risk factors associated with the development of osteonecrosis. 42% of patients showed some evidence of bony abnormality. Following transplantation, there was slow but progressive resolution in the X-ray changes of hyperparathyroidism but not of osteoporosis. 14% of patients developed osteonecrosis in the posttransplant period with the femoral head the most common site involved (72% of patients). Osteonecrosis could not be related to average steroid dose, number of steroid pulses, or the preexistence of metabolic bone disease.

“…Morphological evaluation of bone changes in uremia has mostly been per formed using X-ray examination [2,26,29], As bone scintigraphy may reveal metabolic skeletal changes before seen on X-ray [27] we have found it of interest to report the findings from an investigation with ""TC'-polyphosphate (Tc-PP) scintigraphy [8] in 30 uremic patients on regular hemodialysis.…”

⁹⁹Tc^m-polyphosphate (Tc-PP) bone scintigraphy was performed in 30 consecutive uremic patients on regular hemodialysis and compared with a normal control group. 27 of the patients (90%) had pathological accumulation on the scintigrams, while roentgenographic abnormalities were present in only 10 patients (33%), indicating that scintigraphy is superior to X-ray in the early detection of skeletal changes in uremic patients. In the group with the most pronounced uptake on the scintigrams there was a preponderance of previously kidney-transplanted patients, while no correlation could be demonstrated between the severity of the scintigraphic findings and the duration of the hemodialysis period, the anephric state of the patients, the underlying kidney disease or the sex. It is suggested that intensive glucocorticoid treatment, even of short duration in the previously kidney-transplanted patients, may aggravate uremic osteodystrophy.
