What causes bone weakness for dialysis patients?

Bone weakness is often associated with kidney function decline and inadequate dialysis. Healthy kidneys can activate vitamin D to stimulate your body to absorb calcium. When your kidneys are not working, your body can not be able to use vitamin D like it should. This can lead to your bones to get weak. On the other hand, dialysis can not filter phosphorus from your blood effectively. High phosphorus level in the blood can cause your body to pull calcium from your bones, making them weak.

Vitamin D may be prescribed by your doctor to help your body absorb calcium.

Phosphorate binder helps limit how much phosphorus your body absorbs from your food. Remember to take this with your meals so it can work. Besides, you should restrict your intake of phosphorus. Milk, beer, fish, red meat, whole grain bread and so on are all high-phosphorus food. You had better consult your dietitian about how much these food you can take.

You may need to prolong the duration or frequency of dialysis if your phosphorus level is very high, which helps remove extra phosphorus.
