Musculoskeletal and Peripheral Nervous System Involvement in a Patient Undergoing Chronic Hemodialysis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Musculoskeletal system manifestations in chronic renal insufficiency are caused by complex bone metabolism alterations, which is now described under the umbrella term of chronic kidney disease mineral- and bone-related disorder instead of renal osteodystrophy, and iatrogenic processes related to renal replacement treatment. Musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous system involvement is common, especially in patients with end-stage renal failure who undergo hemodialysis for a long time. This case report presents a patient who is undergoing chronic hemodialysis and is diagnosed with renal osteodystrophy, dialysis amyloidosis, osteoporosis, and uremic neuropathy.
