Parathyroid hormone, a uremic toxin.
Despite the innovations in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism, there are uremic patients with marked elevation in PTH levels. Uremic toxicity is in part attributable to the excess of circulating PTH. It has been known for many years that PTH may induce changes in cell calcium, a key intracellular signal required for normal cell function. The effect of PTH in dialysis patients is not...
متن کاملCholecalciferol Additively Reduces Serum Parathyroid Hormone and Increases Vitamin D and Cathelicidin Levels in Paricalcitol-Treated Secondary Hyperparathyroid Hemodialysis Patients
BACKGROUND Active Vitamin D analogues are used clinically for prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Nutritional vitamin D supplementation is used for additional local parathyroid (PTH) suppression, with lower incidence of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. This study evaluates the possible beneficial effects of combined vitamin D treat...
متن کاملCholecalciferol Additively Reduces Serum Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Severe Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Treated with Calcitriol and Cinacalcet among Hemodialysis Patients
We evaluated the improvement of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels and bone parameters by supplementing nutritional vitamin D (cholecalciferol) to combined calcimimetic (cinacalcet) and active vitamin D analog (calcitriol) among severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) hemodialysis (HD) patients. A randomized, controlled open-label study was undertaken in 60 HD patients with serum iPTH...
متن کاملSerum parathyroid hormone and calcitonin levels in racehorses with fracture.
Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT) levels in fractured racehorses were measured by radioimmunoassay. Racehorses with fracture of large bone such as the radius, third metacarpus, third carpus, digital bone or tibia, showed normal PTH level and elevated CT level in the serum. Serum PTH level was slightly higher in racehorses with sesamoid bone fracture compared to that of healthy...
متن کاملserum levels of intact parathyroid hormone, calcium, and phosphorus and risk of mortality in hemodialysis patients
conclusions while high serum pth, calcium, and phosphorus levels could determine the mortality risk in hemodialysis patients, decreased serum phosphorus and pth levels were in association with malnutrition and comorbidities and were not independent risk factors for mortality. background abnormal mineral metabolism is common among hemodialysis patients and has been associated with higher morbidi...
