osteodystrophy

 [os″te-o-dis´trŏ-fe]
abnormal development of bone.
renal osteodystrophy a condition due to chronic kidney disease and renal failure, marked by impaired vitamin D metabolism, elevated serum phosphorus levels, low or normal serum calcium levels, and stimulation of parathyroid function. There may be any of various bone diseases, including osteitis fibrosa cystica, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and sometimes osteosclerosis. If onset is in childhood, renal dwarfism may result.

The etiology of pain may be secondary to co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes, vascular disease), the primary renal disease (e.g., polycystic kidney disease), consequences of renal failure (e.g., calciphylaxis, renal osteodystrophy), or the dialysis treatment itself (e.g., recurrent needle insertion, arteriovenous fistulas).
