Abstract

In patients with end-stage chronic kidney failure, there are a number of disorders that cause bone damage. In particular, secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is related to chronic kidney failure, a calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorder that causes bone disorder.

In this article we present a case of secondary HPT causing facial and thoracic bone changes
