Vybrané příběhy z osteonefrologie – úvod do problematiky
So called osteonephrology deals with the interface between metabolic and other consequences of complex bone and cardiovascular disease in renal disease and also with non-renal metabolic osteopathies in kidney patients.
The article focuses on problems associated with biologic therapy of osteoporosis in patients with chronic kidney disease, including dialysis as well as kidney transplantation. The attention is paid not only to benefit of this therapy, but also on its possible risk, showing the importance of carefull monitoring in hands of nephrologists.
Keywords:
metabolic bone disease in nephrology, osteoporosis, denosumab, hypocalcaemia, hyper-parathyresis, safety drug monitoring
