Effectiveness of Cinacalcet in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Not Receiving Dialysis

BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Cinacalcet could be a therapeutic option although its use is controversial in patients not receiving dialysis. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of cinacalcet in patients with CKD and SHPT without renal replacement treatment (RRT) and without ren...

Hyperparathyroidism in a diabetic patient on dialysis

A 58-year-old male, who had type II diabetes and was on haemodialysis (HD) for 3 years, was referred for management of refractory hyperparathyroidism in 2006. In 2003, he started HD due to diabetic renal failure, after which vitamin D analogue together with oral calcium carbonate and sevelamer hydrochloride was administered, so that serum calcium and phosphate levels were controlled properly. S...

Nontraumatic bilateral rupture of patellar tendons in a diabetic dialysis patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Key words: patellar tendon; bilateral tendon rupture; lems were reported. Her current medications included chronic renal failure; secondary hyperparathyroidism; an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, a long-haemarthrosis acting calcium channel blocker, a centrally acting imidazoline derivative, and famotidine. Ferrous sulfate and subcutaneous recombinant human erythropoietin were given for...

Sagliker Syndrome in a Patient with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Renal Insufficiency: A Case Report

Sagliker syndrome is a rare form of renal osteodystrophy resulted from untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is described by severe skeletal deformities, high level of PTH in patients with chronic renal failure, and deformed face. This paper reports a 44-year-old male patient with the mentioned characteristics. In addition to the unique clinical features, high levels of ALP and PTH hormon...
