Neutron activation analysis of a hand has been used to monitor changes in skeletal calcium content of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Assessed by this technic supplementary magnesium therapy was of value of reducing the progressive losses of skeletal calcium in a proportion of the patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Oral calcium supplements produced a decrease in the skeletal calcium losses of all the patients studied. 1-alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol, a potent vitamin D analogue, caused a significant increase in the calcium content of bone in three patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis; it may prove to be a safe and effective form of therapy for azotemic osteodystrophy.
对手部进行中子活化分析已用于监测维持性血液透析患者骨骼钙含量的变化。通过这种技术评估，补充镁疗法对于减少部分接受维持性血液透析患者骨骼钙的渐进性流失具有价值。口服钙补充剂使所有研究患者的骨骼钙流失减少。1-α-羟胆钙化醇，一种有效的维生素D类似物，使三名接受维持性血液透析的患者骨钙含量显著增加；它可能被证明是治疗氮质血症性骨营养不良的一种安全有效的疗法。
