Objective. Sulphur, similar to phosphorus, is easily attached to organic compounds. The inadequate elimination of sulphate may cause high sulphate concentrations in hemodialysis (HD) patients because sulphate is low in free form in plasma. Although we are well aware of the accumulation of phosphorus in chronic dialysis patients, we do not have an adequate knowledge database about the sulphur compounds. This study was designed to determine the level of sulphate in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods. Ninety-four prevalent HD patients and 33 patients without renal failure were included in the study. The serum inorganic sulphate levels were measured by turbidimetric technique. Moreover, the serum level of urea, creatinine, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone concentrations was simultaneously recorded. Results. Mean levels of plasma sulphate were significantly higher (0.56 ± 0.17 mM vs 0.31 ± 0.13 mM, p<0.001) in HD patients. Serum sulphate level correlated with patient’s age, serum albumin, serum BUN and creatinine, and serum phosphorus level in HD patients. Serum sulphate levels were not associated with serum parathyroid hormone levels. Conclusion. Serum sulphate levels were approximately twofold higher in HD patients than in the normal control group. Inorganic sulphate does not seem to accumulate in long-term dialysis patients, and mild increased serum levels of sulphate has no poor clinical outcome in these patients.

Fifteen patients on regular dialytic treatment for more than 15 years were given X-rays of the skull, spine, shoulders, wrists, pelvis and knees with the purpose of studying the principal skeletal and articular alterations due or not due to the uraemic status. Serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase and basal aluminium were recorded. Osteopenia was evident in all the patients. Ten of whom (67%) showed alterations due to hyperparathyroidism. Nine patients presented the marks of dialysis spondyloarthropathy; in 14/15 cases geodes were present in the wrists, humeral heads or hip-joints; in ten patients there were multiple amyloid lesions. Two patients with serum basal aluminum above 100 μg/L showed the typical radiographic marks of osteomalacia. The majority of the long-term survivors showed multifactorial osteo-articular alterations resulting mainly from the combination of hyperparathyroidism and dialysis-related amyloidosis. The less frequent joint alterations were represented by arthrosis, enthesopathy and Chondrocalcinosis. Disability and decreased articular mobility resulted in being mainly due to amyloid osteo-arthropathy.
