Resumen
Osteomalacia is a multifactorial bone disorder. Main causes are vitamin D deficiency and phosphorus depletion. Among patients with renal insufficiency the incidence of osteomalacia is variable and probable related to impairment of the synthesis of 1,25 dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (calcitriol). We report a patients with severe osteomalacia, hyperkalemic tubular acidosis, low serum calcitriol levels and insufficiency associated to a prolonged overuse of analgesic drugs. Differential diagnosis and pathophysiology are discussed.
