Renal osteodystrophy i one ofthe main complications of end-stage ren dicate that lao skeletal and exraskeetal manifestations Although it
ray be unavoidable inpatients undergoing hemodilyis, approprat and timely interventions can help alleviate the sypoms experienced bythe
patients and als reduce the osteodysuophy-rlated comorbidities. Thi activity reviews the evaluation and management of rena osteodytophy and
explains the ole ofthe interproessonal team in improving the eat of patents with this condition,

Pathophysiology
is important to understand he ongoing bone remodeling that takes place andthe elements involved in ito get a more complete petre of he
pathophysiology of eal astcodysrophy. The two main cells in tis proces te osteoclast that cut down or esd the Bone and osteoblast that bl
up or form new tons] Osteoblast produce the organic marx of te bone consisting of typeI collagen
like ataline phosphatase and osteocalcin 1
ng with other non-cllagenous proteins
“The process begins withthe esrpion of bane by the osteoclast, which ae setivated by osteoblasts through a RANK-RANK ligand complex and
Inicaely epuated by several factors ike PTH, vitamin D, osteoprotegerin (OP), et. ln ali, this complex fst activates ostoocasts precursor
cells, which in tam provoke the gene wansripton by nuclear factor kappa B leading to an increase in osteoclasts and bone resorption.
Factors hat stimulate the complex and im to inrease osteoclasts formation are PTH, vitamin D, and aciosis. neleuins ike HL 6, tumor necrosis
factor, and MIF-I alpha also activate osteoclasts. Tis wil ineeas serum clsium levels by increasing bone resorption, Oseoprotegerin isan

“The derangement inthe levels of thet factors mentioned, especialy PTH, ithe ult in real osteodystrophy: Patients suffering fom conic
iuey disease (CKD) have an aoseerte dscae proces due to the alteration in levels of ther factors like phosphate, calcium, and vitamin D along
With PTE, High bone tumover tats involving an increased PTH act through the RANK complex to activate more osteoclasts. On the other hand, ow

formed.
