Skeletal radiotracer (99mTc-HEDP) uptake was quantitated with and without the aid of a computer in 30 chronic dialysis patients with histologic evidence of renal osteodystrophy. Before scintigraphy, elevated soft-tissue activity due to the absence of renal radiotracer excretion was reduced by hemodi

Four color processed whole body bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate was performed in six patients on maintenance hemodialysis, and the results of semiquantitative colorimetric analysis were compared with those of a normal group. The difference between the two (control and patient gr
## Abstract Renal osteodystrophy alters metabolic activity and remodeling rate of bone and also may lead to different bone composition. The objective of this study was to characterize the composition of bone in highβturnover renal osteodystrophy patients by means of Fourier transform infrared spect
