 '''Renal osteodystrophy''' is a [[bone disease]] that occurs when your [[kidneys]] fail to maintain the proper levels of [[calcium]] and [[phosphorus]] in your blood. It's a common problem in people with [[kidney disease]] and affects almost all patients at some stage of chronic kidney disease.
 == Causes ==
 Renal osteodystrophy is caused by changes in the [[hormones]] that maintain calcium and phosphorus balance. The kidneys convert [[vitamin D]] from the skin and diet into an active form that helps the body absorb calcium from the intestines. In kidney disease, this conversion is reduced, leading to lower calcium levels. In response, the [[parathyroid glands]] produce more [[parathyroid hormone]] (PTH), which helps restore calcium levels by reabsorption from the bones. However, this can lead to bone disease.
 == Symptoms ==
 Symptoms of renal osteodystrophy can vary. Some people have no symptoms, while others may experience [[bone pain]], [[joint pain]], fractures, and [[muscle weakness]]. In children, the disease can cause growth retardation and bone deformities.
 == Diagnosis ==
 Diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy involves blood tests to measure levels of calcium, phosphorus, PTH, and vitamin D. [[Bone biopsy]] may also be performed to assess the type and severity of the disease.
 == Treatment ==
 Treatment aims to restore the balance of calcium, phosphorus, and PTH. This may involve dietary changes, medications to lower phosphorus levels, vitamin D supplements, and in some cases, surgery to remove the parathyroid glands.
