Appearance time and the severity of skeletal changes in patients with chronic renal failure are still not well defined. In 61 patients with incipient to advanced renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate 70 to 5 ml/min X 1.73 m2), bone alterations (acro-osteolysis, subeperiosteal and intracortical resorption) were mammographically studied in hand phalanges. A high correlation (p less than 0.001) was found between the radiological score and the severity of the renal insufficiency. The earliest changes of renal osteodystrophy occurred in the tufts. Biopsy specimens were taken from the iliac crest in 22 patients. Qualitative bone histology correlated significantly (p less than 0.001) with the total radiological score. Mammography offers an effective and non-invasive means of studying early skeletal changes in patients with chronic renal failure.
