Sažetak
The case o f a female patient treated for 14 years on maintenance
hemodialysis is presented. Radiographic appearances and clinical changes were the consequence of secondary hyperparathyroidism, usually seen in such patients, especially after long term treatment. Introductory remarks on the pathophysiological causes o f secondary hyperparathyroidism, data from literature and our investigation are presented, clarifying to the dentist the problem of patients on maintenance hemodialysis and pointing out the typical bone changes of the jaws, related to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Understanding of these changes could be analogically used in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.
