A chronic kidney disease client who has renal osteodystrophy should be assessed for which of the following complications? Select all that apply

A) Muscle weakness
B) Kidney stones
C) Bone pain
D) Stress fractures
E) Urosepsis


Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Both types of renal osteodystrophy are manifested by abnormal absorption and defective bone remodeling. Renal osteodystrophy is typically accompanied by reductions in bone mass, alterations in bone microstructure, bone pain, and skeletal fracture. There are changes in bone turnover, mineralization, and bone volume, accompanied by bone pain and muscle weakness, risk of fractures, and other skeletal complications. Kidney stones and urosepsis are not associated with renal osteodystrophy.
