Abstract
Significant signs of uremic osteodystrophy were found at Rx examination of the pelvis in 29 out of 72 uremic patients (40%) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. It is therefore thought that Rx of the pelvis, although it is more significant for some signs (brown tumors, alterations of the trabecular structure, enlargement of Ward's triangle) than for others, such as subperiosteal resorption, should not be neglected in these patients.
