We report the case of a 22-year old male patient with terminal renal failure consecutive to hereditary osteolysis affecting the tarsal and carpal bones associated with chronic glomerulonephritis. This is one of the first cases where prolonged survival was obtained by repeated haemodialysis and kidney transplantation. The various clinical features of this syndrome are described, together with its possible repercussions on bone abnormalities induced by repeated haemodialysis of kidney transplantation.
