Abstract
Skeletal radiology and bone histopathology were compared in 82 patients with renal failure. The performance of radiology in detecting lesions was assessed using interobserver studies which showed disappointing levels of agreement probably reflecting the subjective nature of the radiological signs. Radiology was very insensitive in detecting and grading hyperparathyroidism even when histology and serum biochemistry were floridly abnormal. The most useful radiographs for monitoring subperiosteal erosions and vascular and soft tissue calcification are identified.
