An extensive discussion of the problem of bone disease in chronic renal failure will not be attempted here, since Stanbury has recently published an excellent review of this subject.3 He divided renal bone disease into two categories, the first of which is osteomalacia, or rickets, and is characterized by defective bone mineralization. The bone in this condition is made up of excessive osteoid which has not been properly mineralized and is thought to be in the early stage of renal bone disease which is treatable with vitamin D.
