Abstract
The clinical course of an adolescent on chronic hemodialysis with severe hyperparathyroidism, osteodystrophy and profound anemia is described. After 1,25,dihydroxycholecalciferol was instituted for therapy, bone disease improved as evidenced by radiographic findings. Transfusion requirements diminished and bone marrow fibrosis on serial biopsies decreased significantly. These therapeutic results link hyperparathyroidism with the pathogenesis of anemia in chronic renal failure.Entities:
