  • The effect of peroral calcitriol in small doses on mild secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on hemodialysis
    Pečovnik-Balon, Breda
    Our prospective 1-year study comprises 93 patients of both sexes, various ages and various dialysis duration. Among them, 31 patients with a concentration of Ca in blood under 2.7 mmol/l, a ... concentration of P under 1.8 mmol/l and a concentration of PTHi over 65 pg/ml (group 0) received calcitriol 0.25 microgramx418p4The control group consisted of patients not receiving calcitriol and having normal Ca and P metabolism (group 1). The rest of the patients had a concentration of P over 1.8 mmol/l and could not be given calcitriol. A comparison of the dynamics of average plasmic concentrations of Ca, P, AP, PTHi and X-ray changes in group 0 and 1 at the beginning of the investigation and 1 year later was carried out. At the termination of the 1-year treatment, when compared to the initial state, a statistically significant increase in the concentration of Ca (p less th. 0.005) and in the concentration of P (p less th. 0.005) was noted in group 0. The average concentration of PTHi decreased to the desired level, the X-ray changes characteristic of secondary hyperparathyroidism progressed more slowly in group 0.
