PTH-002 A Single Centre Audit Comparing Colonoscopy Completion and Complication Rates in older and Younger Patients: Abstract PTH-002 Table 1

PTH(1-84)/PTH(7-84): a balance of power.

This review considers many new basic and clinical aspects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). We focus especially on the identification of PTH fragments and how they may relate to renal failure, diagnosis, and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy. The biosynthesis and metabolism of PTH, measurement of circulating forms of PTH, the effects of PTH on receptor activation a...

Efficacy of whole PTH assay and 1-84/non-(1-84) PTH ratio in patients on hemodialysis or undergoing parathyroidectomy.

For measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH), the intact PTH (I-PTH) assay is generally used. However, I-PTH assay apparently detects PTH 7-84 fragments, in addition to PTH 1-84. The whole PTH (W-PTH) assay exhibits no cross-reactivity with PTH 7-84. Ratio of PTH 1-84 to non-(1-84) PTH has been proposed as a non-invasive indicator of bone turnover in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)...

Comparing the values of intact parathormone and 1– 84 PTH to predict hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients

BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading high mortality and even long-term morbidity. SHPT is manifested by elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and accurate determining the level of serum PTH is very essential for early diagnosis of SHPT secondary to CKD. It is very important to match the values obtained for intact parat...

PW02-002 - Single MVK mutation and recurrent fevers

Results 31 pts with mutations in MVK were evaluated: 22 had 2 mutations (21 with V377I and 1 other mutation; 1 with V203A/H380R), 9 had only 1 mutation after testing the whole gene (8 with V377I, 1 with I268V). The carrier frequency of V377I in our control Caucasian population is 0.3% (2/739). In contrast, in 344 independent cases of recurrent fever submitted for MVK testing, 8 bore a single co...
