Phosphate, Parathyroid Hormone Levels at Dialysis Session Start Vary by Time of Day
Serum levels of phosphate and parathyroid hormone are lower early in the day and higher late in the day, recently reported data suggest.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Parathyroidectomy for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in the US Dialysis Population Characterized
The hospitalization rate and number of hospital days increased significantly in the year after parathyroidectomy vs the year before, whereas dialysis visits and office visits decreased significantly.
Radiofrequency Ablation a Possible Alternative for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
In a retrospective study, investigators found that radiofrequency ablation and parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on dialysis achieved intact parathyroid hormone levels in the target range in similar proportions of patients.
Parathyroidectomy Cuts Death, Cardiovascular Events Risks in Hemodialysis
A retrospective case-control study indicates that parathyroidectomy improves patient-level outcomes.
Vitamin D Supplementation May Reduce Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism in KTRs
Coronary calcification developed with poorly controlled tertiary hyperparathyroidism and elevated iFGF23 levels after transplantation, the investigators reported.
Vitamin D, PTH Linked With Bone Decline in Older Men
Vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism are associated with more rapid bone decline in older men.
Normocalcemic Hyperparathyroidism Predicts Kidney Graft Loss
Treatment of elevated parathyroid hormone levels prior to kidney transplantation should be considered, according to investigators.
Investigators Develop Risk Score to Predict Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism persists in up to 30% of kidney transplant recipients.
Survival Similar in the Dialysis Population With High, Low PTH
Reported rates of low PTH and secondary hyperparathyroidism in the hemodialysis population are approximately 40% and 10%, respectively.
PTH Reduction Better With Etelcalcetide vs Cinacalcet in Hemodialysis Population
Intravenous etelcalcetide use remains limited by cost and reimbursement, investigators noted.
