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...

Parathyroidectomy Improves Blood Pressure Control: A Longitudinal Study of Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

BACKGROUND. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and its associated complications, such as hypertension, are common sequelae of end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We aimed to evaluate the post-parathyroidectomy (PTX) effects on blood pressure (BP) (including predialysis and intradialytic BP), as well as determine the predictive factors involved in BP reduction post PTX. METHODS. Between 2002 and ...

Secondary hyperparathyroidism and calcium phosphate control in a hemodialysis population.

AIM To evaluate the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism and calcium phosphate control in the hemodialysis Asian population. METHODS We evaluated 36 patients at Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore, who were receiving thrice weekly maintenance hemodialysis for at least 6 months. Patients with history of previous parathyroidectomy were excluded from the study. Patient's weight, length of...
