چکیده

This investigation, aimed to study of intact parathormone (iPTH) and calcium (Ca) in a group of kidney transplanted patients and also we aimed to test the relationship of iPTH with various demographic data of kidney transplanted recipients. We studied 72 kidney transplanted persons with mean ages of 44±12 years. In this study, mean iPTH was 18.4±8.2 Pg/mL (median=16.5). A negative correlation of iPTH with creatinine clearance (r=-0.44, p<0.001) was seen. There was no any association between the time of kidney transplantation and serum iPTH (p>0.05). In contrast to previous findings, in our patients, there was not secondary hyperparathyroidism. The results revealed suppressed PTH secretion. The reason may be due to excessive intake of calcium and Vitamin D analogues, which may suppress parathyroid hormone secretion.

Nonfunctioning allografts play an important role in parathyroid hormone and calcitonin metabolism.

Dr. Mehmet Şükrü Sever Ataköy, 4. Kisim, TO Blok No: 216, D:15 Bakirköy İstanbul (Turkey) Dear Sir, The kidneys (together with the liver) are responsible for most of the metabolism of polypeptide hormones; furthermore some hormones such as calcitonin (CT) and the N-terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are not metabolized by the liver, hence the role of the kidneys becomes more importa...

Posttransplantation hyperparathyroidism: demonstration of retained control of parathyroid function by plasma ionized calcium.

Persistent hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of successful renal transplantation. This study sought to address several generally held assumptions concerning this endocrine disorder, i.e., it represents an autonomous condition that involutes with time. Eight normal subjects and 13 renal transplant patients with hyperparathyroidism were studied. Ten blood samples for simultaneous measu...
