🗑
Acute tubular necrosis results primarily from?   renal ischemia and nephrotoxic injury & necrosis  
🗑
Renal ischemia leads to acute tubular necrosis by disrupting the?   basement membrane  
🗑

Calcium-phosphorus imbalances can lead to?   bone remodelling and weakened bone matrix  
🗑
Aluminum accumulation is believed to contribute to?   osteomalacia  
🗑
Osteitis fibrosis involves?   replacement of Ca in the bone with fibrous tissue, resulting from increased levels of parathyroid hormone from hypocalcemia
