The research of the bone metabolism has undergone a long evolution which began with the use of radioisotopes in calcium kinetic studies and went through the determination of several humoral parameters like alkaline phosphatase (ALP), hydroxyproline and intact immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and finally to the assay of a new serum and urinary parameters of bone metabolism, like osteocalcine (OC) and procollagen and collagen metabolites. The X-ray study of the skeleton, densitometric techniques, computerized tomography, scintigraphy and NMR are used for visualization of bone changes, but bone biopsy and histomorphometry provide the most precise evaluation [1]. Disorders of bone and mineral metabolism in children with chronic renal failure (CRF) are an almost regular occurrence; so early discovery and treatment of these changes are very important [2]. The aim of this study was to measure the serum OC level in children with CRF and terminal renal failure (TRF), treated with chronic haemodialysis, and to evaluate the significance of OC compared to other humoral parameters of renal osteodistrophy, such as ALP and iPTH.
