Objective of the study: To test whether, in patients with renal hypertension, a relation between osteopathic dysfunctions of the kidneys and dysfunctions in the spinal segments D12 – L2 can be diagnosed.
Keywords: Osteopathic renal dysfunction, renal hypertension, spinal segments D12 – L2
Design: Fundamental research
Patients: 34 patients: 27 male, 7 female
Main outcome measure: Dysfunctions in the spinal segments D12 – L2. Secondary parameters were osteopathic dysfunctions of one or both kidneys.
Results: Osteopathic dysfunction of one or both kidneys diagnosed in all patients included in the study. 68% of these patients show a segmental dysfunction in spinal segments D12 – L2. No statistical relevance could be noted.
Conclusion: Even though the results is not statistically relevant on grounds of the small number of patients there is a definite trend among patients suffering from renal hypertension towards a relation between osteopathic dysfunction of one or both kidneys and a dysfunction in the spinal segments D12 – L2. However, this statement is put into perspective by the fact that the measuring method (manual analysis) is not repeatable. Future studies, ideally carried out as so-called multicenter studies, could show whether the relations found and assumed in this study can be confirmed in a bigger patient population, whether they can be found statistically significant by separate independent researchers, and whether they are independent from the clinical diagnosis of renal hypertension. - presented at
