Morphometry of bone. Are parameters from the iliac crest reliable indicators of renal-insufficiency osteopathy?

Bone samples from 25 autopsy cases with chronic renal insufficiency were analyzed stereologically. The findings in the iliac crest were found to be representative of those of the rib, femur condyle and lumbar vertebra for the following stereologic parameters: volume of osteoid seems related to total...

Description
Summary:	Bone samples from 25 autopsy cases with chronic renal insufficiency were analyzed stereologically. The findings in the iliac crest were found to be representative of those of the rib, femur condyle and lumbar vertebra for the following stereologic parameters: volume of osteoid seems related to total bone volume [VV(OID/BONE)], surface of osteoid seams related to total bone volume [SV(OID/BONE)] and surface of osteoid seams in relation to trabecular surface [SS(OID/TRAB)]. In addition, the value of various stereologic parameters for the classification of osteopathies was checked.
