Abstract In 30 patients with chronic renal insufficiency (16 non-dialysed and 14 on dialysis) serum calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase were determined and, in a crest biopsy specimen, morphometric determinations of bone qualities were calculated. A positive correlation was established between serum alkaline phosphatase, the osteoblast surface and the active resorption surface in both dialysed and non-dialysed patients. A positive correlation was also established between the osteoblast surface and the active resorption. In the non-dialysed patients a negative correlation was established between serum calcium and the osteoid surface.
