Challenges of PTH Assays
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a vital role in regulating of blood Calcium. In addition, it regulates the amount of phosphate and vitamin D in the blood. PTH is a polypeptide hormone that found in the blood circulation as peptides with different amino acid counts. The active form of the PTH which has biological activity, contains 84 amino acids, but under the influence of proteolytic enzymes...
متن کاملSevelamer controls parathyroid hormone-induced bone disease as efficiently as calcium carbonate without increasing serum calcium levels during therapy with active vitamin D sterols.
Little is known about the impact of various phosphate binders on the skeletal lesions of secondary hyperparathyroidism (2 degrees HPT). The effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and sevelamer were compared in pediatric peritoneal dialysis patients with bone biopsy-proven 2 degrees HPT. Twenty-nine patients were randomly assigned to CaCO3 (n = 14) or sevelamer (n = 15), concomitant with either in...

Background: Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency is one of the major nutritional deficiencies in children. Obesity has inverse association with vitamin D levels. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in response to conventional treatment for Vit D deficiency and insufficiency in obese and normal weight children and adolescents.Methods: This nested case control study was conducted in 69...
متن کاملCombined therapy with cinacalcet and low doses of vitamin D sterols in patients with moderate to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND Adequate control of all four KDOQI biochemical targets for chronic kidney disease, bone and mineral disorder (CKD-MBD), which include parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and Ca x P, remains difficult and is accomplished in <6% of patients receiving haemodialysis. The objective of the current study was to determine whether treatment with cinacalcet combined with lo...
