Another medical problem that patients with ESRD have to contend with is renalosteodystrophy. Relate why this is a concern
As previously mentioned, renal failure prevents the activation 1,25-dihydroxycholecacciferol which results in calcium absorption problems and problems with calcium deposits in the bone. This is further complicated by elevated phosphorus in the blood. The end result is the promotion of renalosteodystrophy.
