Percutaneous calcitriol injection therapy (PCIT) for secondary hyperparathyroidism: multicentre trial.
A multicentre trial of percutaneous calcitriol injection therapy (PCIT) was designed to evaluate its clinical usefulness. During a 12-week period, measurement of intact PTH concentration, and other parameters, and ultrasonography were carried out in conjunction with PCIT in 19 haemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and enlarged parathyroid glands (PTGs) that were resistant to...
متن کاملEfficacy of direct injection of calcitriol into the parathyroid glands in uraemic patients with moderate to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.
INTRODUCTION Secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT) is a common complication in uraemic patients. When medical therapy, including high doses of intravenous calcitriol, fails to suppress the pathological secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), one of the newly developed interventional techniques, such as percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT), is an option before taking the surgical solutio...
متن کاملParicalcitol in dialysis patients with calcitriol-resistant secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Paricalcitol was evaluated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in a long-term, prospective, open-label study of 37 patients with end-stage renal failure resistant to intravenous calcitriol. All patients had an intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level of 600 pg/mL or greater before being converted from calcitriol to paricalcitol therapy. Paricalcitol therapy was initiated at...
متن کاملPercutaneous ethanol (PEIT) and calcitrol (PCIT) injection therapy are ineffective in treating severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT) is a frequent complication of long-term dialysis treatment and, despite recent advances in medical therapy, surgical parathyroidectomy (PTX) is required in a considerable number of uraemic patients. Recently, other modalities of therapy, such as ultrasound-guided percutaneous parathyroid injection of ethanol (PEIT) or of calcitriol (PCIT), have be...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ethanol Injection Therapy for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in an Elderly Tracheostomized Hemodialysis Patient
Hyperparathyroidism, either secondary or tertiary, is a major complication of end stage renal disease (ESRD). It can result in renal bone disease if left untreated. Although surgical parathyroidectomy remains the treatment of choice, the appropriate therapy to treat hyperparathyroidism in specific patient groups such as tracheostomized patients has not been elucidated. We present a case of seco...
