Renal osteodystrophy. Prominent trabecular pattern secondary to generalized trabecular resorption in a 32-year-old male with end-stage renal disease on sagittal CT images (a and b) and corresponding lateral lumbar spine radiograph (c). Sclerotic bands adjacent to the vertebral endplates result in subtle “rugger jersey spine” secondary to the excess osteoid.
