It is said that maintenance hemodialysis patients are already suffering from secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT) from early stage of chronic renal failure. The treatment of 2HPT in this stage is very important for preventing renal osteodystrophy (ROD). But many long-term dialysis patients are still afflicted with ROD although vitamin D have been used for treatment. In this study, an oral administration of 1-25 (OH)2 D3 (4 micrograms) with pulse therapy twice a week at the day before hemodialysis was started for 12 weeks. The concentration of 1-25 (OH)2D3, total calcium (Ca), ionized calcium (Ca++), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and parathyroid hormone (PHT) in serum were measured not only before and after every 2 hours of administration a day, but also for 12 weeks after that. The peak of serum 1-25 (OH)2D3 could be sufficiently elevated after 8 hours, and the slight peak of Ca++ could be seen after 8 hours as well. But the level of total calcium could not increased. Although the level of only HS-PTH has not increased after 24 hours, a significant reduction in serum level of C-PTH, intact-PTH and HS-PTH could be recognized after 12 weeks finally. This pulse therapy was effective in reducing the serum level of PTH in this early stage from beginning hemodialysis. But, it needs further studies for the standard treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006962 Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary Abnormally elevated PARATHYROID HORMONE secretion as a response to HYPOCALCEMIA. It is caused by chronic KIDNEY FAILURE or other abnormalities in the controls of bone and mineral metabolism, leading to various BONE DISEASES, such as RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY. Secondary Hyperparathyroidism,Hyperparathyroidisms, Secondary,Secondary Hyperparathyroidisms
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
