Watch the webcast: A renal transplant candidate (CKD 5D) with an osteoporotic fracture!
On the 19th of September we discussed A renal transplant candidate (CKD 5D) with an osteoporotic fracture with experts of the European Renal Osteodystrophy initiative.
Watch the webcast here:
The clinical case was presented by Mathias Haarhaus from Stockholm, Sweden, and discussed with Carina Ferreira (Lisbon, Portugal), Renate de Jongh (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and Sandro Mazzaferro (Rome, Italy).
Brief description: Dialysis patients are at exceptionally high risk of fractures. This risk is even aggravated after a kidney transplantation. This e-seminarium discusses a dialysis patient who was diagnosed with osteoporosis during renal transplantation work-up. The patient experienced a fragility fracture while on the transplant waiting list. While parathyroid hormone, calcium, and phosphate were well controlled, alkaline phosphatase was high, thus, a bone biopsy was performed to guide treatment.
The session was hosted by the European Renal Association as part of their e-seminar series.
