... regimens are unclear. Aims: To describe factors associated with 25-OHvitD levels in HD patients and to assess the effect of three dosing regimens to supplement 25-OHvitD (calcifediol) on serum calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-OHvitD and 1,25-OHvitD. Methods: Two hundred...

In addition longitudinal analyses were performed (2000–2010) to show changes in achievement of clinical performance measures over time. Results: Fiftysix percent of HD and 69% of PD patients achieved a phosphate within...

... inversely related to calcium (Ca) level, we attempted to create a new index based on the relationship. Methods: Our subjects were 70 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) in a single facility. Using multiple pairs of serum Ca corrected for albumin (cCa) and intact PTH (iPTH) values drawn...

...) in the whole patient group. In the subgroup with intact PTH (iPTH) >20 pmol/l (48.3% of patients), the mean iPTH decreased from 41.3 to 30.9 pmol/l (p < 0.001). In the subgroups with iPTH <20 pmol/l at study begin, iPTH remained constant. The mean serum calcium increased from 2.23 to 2.31 mmol/l (p...

.../Aims: The calcimimetic cinacalcet (Mimpara®/Sensipar®) simultaneously lowers parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) levels in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The OPTIMA study demonstrated that cinacalcet and adjusted doses of vitamin D maximized control...

...Alex J. Brown; Matthew J. Koch; Daniel W. Coyne Background: Changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) within minutes are known only to be mediated by changes in ionized calcium. Recent animal studies show ingestion of a low phosphorus meal can lower serum PTH within 15 min, before changes in serum...
