Also written as ROD.
This is one of several bone lesions, which as a group are commonly known as renal osteodystrophy.
What our notes say
- This is one of several bone lesions, which as a group are commonly known as renal osteodystrophy. (Chronic kidney failure)
- Renal Osteodystrophy or Renal Bone Disease\nchild’s height velocity is below minus 2SD, a trial of synthetic (Devendra K. Gupta, Krishna M. Goel - Hutchison’s Paediatrics. chdhe-Jaypee Broth)
- Renal osteodystrophy: rickets, bone pain and deformity (low vitamin D, high phosphate and PTH) (Paediatrics and Child Health end of semester examination (MBPE): 10 January 2023)
- Bone tenderness, calcific deposits in soft tissues: Secondary hyperparathyroidism leading to renal osteodystrophy and metastatic calcification. (Chronic kidney disease)
- | Bone mineral studies (PTH, vitamin D) | Secondary hyperparathyroidism | Elevated PTH = renal osteodystrophy | (Chronic kidney disease)

Practice questions on Renal Osteodystrophy
Renal osteodystrophy is a complication of
- Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Tertiary hyperparathyroidism post-transplant
- MEN1 syndrome
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism from chronic renal failure
Answer: D. Renal osteodystrophy = complex bone disease in CRF comprising: osteitis fibrosa cystica (from high PTH), osteomalacia (from vitamin D deficiency), osteosclerosis (rugger jersey spine), and adynamic bone disease. Management: phosphate binders, active vitamin D, calcimimetics, dialysis.
