Calcitriol and the parathyroid hormone-ionized calcium curve: a comparison of methodologic approaches.

چکیده
Investigations of the effects of calcitriol on the inverse sigmoidal relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and ionized calcium (iCa) have yielded contradictory conclusions, possibly because of variations in experimental and analytical approaches. To clarify the existing literature, PTH-iCa curves were constructed by inducing hypo- and hypercalcemia through alterations in dialysate calcium concentration in eight hemodialysis patients with mild to moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism. The effects of low (metabolic acidosis) versus normal bicarbonate dialysis were compared before and after 4 wk of intravenous calcitriol, in a cross-over design. The PTH-iCa curves were primarily evaluated by using a four-parameter model. In addition, a variety of alternative published analytic approaches were examined and PTH-iCa curve slopes were further evaluated after normalization by (maximum - minimum PTH). The latter partially corrects for gland mass and cell-secretory capacity, and therefore yields a purer measure of the sensitivity of secretory activity to changes in iCa. The results of the study indicate that calcitriol decreased basal, maximal, and minimal PTH and non-normalized slope (all P < 0.05), but did not affect set point or normalized slope, independent of the specific analytic approach. Acute metabolic acidosis did not affect the PTH-iCa curve. Thus, intravenous calcitriol appears to decrease parathyroid gland functional mass, as reflected by decreases in maximal and minimal PTH levels, but does not affect the sensitivity of the parathyroid gland to changes in iCa, as set point and normalized slope were unaffected.

Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide and Vitamin D in Phosphocalcic Metabolism for Dromedary Camel
In mammals, phosphocalcic and bone metabolisms are mainly regulated by parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or calcitriol. In camels, circulating levels of calcitriol are 10 times higher than those determined in other ruminants and further increase during early lactation. Calcitriol and parathyroid-related peptide stimulate intestinal abs...

متن کاملEffects of Different Dietary Interventions on Calcitriol, Parathyroid Hormone, Calcium, and Phosphorus: Results from the DASH Trial
The "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension" (DASH) diet, rich in fiber and low-fat dairy, effectively lowers blood pressure. DASH's effect on calcitriol and other markers of bone-mineral metabolism is unknown. This secondary analysis of the DASH trial aimed to determine the effect of dietary patterns on blood concentrations of calcitriol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), ionized calcium, and urinar...

متن کاملEffect of calcitriol treatment and withdrawal on hyperparathyroidism in haemodialysis patients with hypocalcaemia.
BACKGROUND Calcitriol is used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. For similarly elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, the PTH response to calcitriol treatment is believed to be better in hypocalcaemic dialysis patients than in dialysis patients with higher serum calcium values. Furthermore, few studies have evaluated the rapidity of the rebound in serum PTH values ...
