Abstract

Aim Renal osteodystrophy, also known as uremic osteopathy, is a constellation of musculoskeletal abnormalities that occur in patients with chronic renal failure. Osteomalacia, Rickets, abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism due to secondary hyperparathroidism are also related to this phenomenon. Bone changes are expected in renal osteodystrophy cases such as lamina dura loss, resorption of alveolar bone, multiple tiny radiolucencies on calvaria, subperiosteal resorption of bones and osteopenia.
Material and method In the first part of the study, cases who applied to the oral diagnosis and radiology department of our faculty with no known metabolic bone disease were evaluated. These cases were first divided into two separate groups according to gender, and each group was divided into seven different age groups. Age groups were determined as 0-14, 25-19, 20,-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and over 60 years of age.
Results In the statistical study, it was first investigated whether there was a significant difference between the age groups of both sexes. As a result of the research conducted with one-way analysis of variance, no statistically significant relationship was found between age groups in both genders. Furthermore, the values obtained from both sexes were checked with the t-test and no significant relationship was found.
Conclusion In the light of these findings, it was concluded that our method is a useful method in determining metabolic bone loss.
