The long-term follow-up of 195 patients with renal failure: a preliminary report.

Radiographic and bone mineral (BM) data were collected over a three-year period on 195 patients with chronic renal failure. Most women maintained BM on dyalysis, whereas 44% of the men lost BM (p less than 0.05). Following transplantation, 86% of the patients either maintained or restored BM. After parathyroidectomy, only half of the women and 34% of the men gained BM. Normal radiographs may be associated with low BM values, but there is a correlation between decreasing BM and increasing renal osteodystrophy in women (p less than 0.05).

Investigation of the loss of bone mineral in patients with spinal cord injury.

Thirty-six (36) spinal cord injury patients (22 tetraplegic and 14 paraplegic) had hand radiographs taken in association with bone density measurements. The cortical bone of the hand, the radius, and the ulna was found to be normal, but there was an obvious decrease in the amount of trabecular bone. There were three predominant radiographic patterns of osteopenia --generalised, juxta-articular, and cystic. The cause of this decrease in trabecular bone is not understood, although it may be related to alterations in blood flow.

A case of Lipoatrophic diabetes.

A case of lipoatrophic diabetes with atypical biochemical and radiological features is presented. Scattered areas of increased radiodensity in the region of all major joints were associated with cystic changes at the shoulders. It is postulated that this condition varies from patient to patient in severity as well as in course and progression.
