Olecranon bursitis in chronic haemodialysis patients

Description: Osteoarticular diseases are frequent complications observed in chronic haemodialysis patients. Aetiologies of articular manifestations are numerous, including secondary hyperparathyroidism, crystal arthropathy such as gout and hydroxyapatite deposition, amyloidosis, aluminum overload and infectious processes. We report here swelling of olecranon bursa observed over a 9-month period (during years 1999 and 2000) in six of our 240 chronic haemodialysis patients.
