چکیده

Several factors have been identified as important in the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism in end-stage renal disease, including serum calcium, phosphorus, and calcitriol. To examine the independent effects of key factors, we prospectively studied 52 new hemodialysis patients with mild secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH, 110-670 pg/mL) treated with a standardized regimen of calcium supplements, phosphorus binders, and no vitamin D derivatives. We used simple and multivariable linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between changes in PTH (deltaPTH) levels observed over a 4-week period and various biochemical and demographic variables. By simple linear regression we found that changes in serum phosphorus (r2 = 0.31; beta = 41.6; P = 0.0001), initial phosphorus concentration (r2 = 0.15; beta = 33.4; P = 0.005), initial PTH level (r2 = 0.29; beta = 0.58; P = 0.0001), changes in serum calcium (r2 = 0.12; beta = -74.0; P = 0.01), and gender (r2 = 0.07; beta = 76.1; P = 0.05) were significantly associated with deltaPTH. However, upon multivariable regression analysis, only the changes in phosphorus (partial r2 = 0.31; beta = 37.0; P = 0.0001), initial PTH level (partial r2 = 0.23; beta = 0.50; P = 0.0001), and gender (partial r2 = 0.05; beta = 63.1; P = 0.02) remained significantly associated with deltaPTH. Neither the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, bicarbonate, aluminum, or albumin nor changes in the serum bicarbonate concentration, the presence of diabetes, KT/V, or age were significantly associated with the deltaPTH. Our findings are consistent with independent effects of phosphorus and gender on parathyroid gland function in patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure through mechanisms that remain to be defined.

Is Decline Rate of Intact Parathyroid Hormone Level a Reliable Criterion for Early Discharge of Patients after Total Thyroidectomy?

Introduction: Parathyroid dysfunction leading to symptomatic hypocalcemia is not uncommon following a total thyroidectomy and is often associated with significant patient morbidity and a prolonged hospital stay. The current study aimed at evaluating the comparative predictive role of serum calcium and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) for post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia.   Materials and Methods...

Intensification of Anemia by Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Hemodialysis Patients

The excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH) is suggested to interfere with normal erythropoiesis.  In SHPTH, during chronic renal failure, due to the impairment of erythropoietin synthesis, this effect is more pronounced.  In the present study the role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in the severity of anemia was evaluated in hemodialysis patients (n=3...

INTRODUCTION Low fetuin-A and 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D) levels accompanied with high intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) contents are associated with cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. The aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene FokI and ApaI polymorphisms with serum levels of fetuin-A, vitamin D, and intact PTH in hemodialysis...
