Possible Optimal Parathyroid Hormone Range in Hemodialysis Cases Identified
Investigators found a U-shaped relationship between serum intact parathyroid hormone levels and death risk in Chinese patients initiating hemodialysis.
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Etelcalcetide May Slow Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in SHPT
Increases in FGF23 may lead to cardiac remodeling in these patients, investigators suggest.
Study Finds Evidence of SHPT-Related Myocardial Damage
Cardiovascular MRI provided evidence of a relationship between prolonged exposure to elevated PTH and myocardial damage.
Bisphosphonates May Treat Calciphylaxis in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Moderate to severe hyperparathyroidism after kidney transplantation may have predisposed 2 cases to calciphylaxis, according to investigators.
Parathyroidectomy May Ease Non-Dipping Heart Rate in CKD
Disturbed circadian rhythms, specifically a potentially life-threatening non-dipping heart rate, may represent a novel prognostic marker for CKD patients, according to investigators.
Calcimimetic Found More Effective in Suppressing Calcification in HD
Trial findings suggest a calcimimetic may be more effective than a VDRA at reducing calcification in patients receiving hemodialysis.
Nicotinamide May Improve Phosphate Control in Hemodialysis Patients
Nicotinamide modulates expression of the sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter 2b and thereby may inhibit intestinal phosphate absorption, according to investigators.
Conservative CKD-MBD Management at Dialysis Initiation on the Rise
Trends suggest that clinical practice could be driven heavily by providers’ preferences and beliefs, resulting in substantial practice variation.
SHPT in Nondialysis CKD Associated With Major Adverse Events
Risk prevention efforts and increased surveillance and monitoring of patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD are needed, according to investigators.
High Predialysis Parathyroid Hormone Linked With Uncontrolled SHPT
Earlier PTH suppression might decrease the risk of uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism among patients with chronic kidney disease, according to investigators.
