What Causes Bone Disease in Kidney Failure
Bone disease often happens among people with Kidney Failure which would cause joint pain, fracture or infections. Why?
When your kidneys are healthy, they will help you keep your bones healthy. Because kidneys are able to balance minerals in human body, keep the phosphorus as well as calcium in right amounts.
However, when Kidney Failure occurs, your damaged kidneys are unable to keep the balance resulting in overmuch phosphorus accumulating in human body. Consequently, overmuch phosphorus causes your body to pull more calcium from the bones in order to keep the balance of phosphorus and calcium.
Impaired kidneys fail to utilize vitamin D, which is the other culprit accounting for weak bones.
Ways to prevent or treat Bone Disease in Kidney Failure:

▪ Making changes in your diet. By reducing the intake of phosphorus in your daily diet do benefits.
▪ Taking phosphorus binder with meals. The medication will decrease absorption of phosphorus into the blood.
▪ Following a healthy lifestyle. If you are smoking or drinking, stay away from those things. Drinking or smoking makes your bone even weaker or worse than before.
▪ Taking vitamin D. Your doctor probably will prescribe you a man-made vitamin D to help calcium absorption.
