The effect of pulse therapy on severe secondary hyperparathyroidism related to chronic renal failure has been examined in 11 patients on maintenance hemodialysis by using an oral administration of 8 micrograms of 1 alpha(OH)D maximum per week. Throughout the 10 months of this treatment, the serum levels of intact-PTH, HS-PTH, and C-PTH were followed up. Additionally, to estimate the peak level of 1,25(OH)2D, its serum concentration at 10 hours after the 1 alpha (OH)D ingestion was measured. Results have shown that the serum levels of the intact-PTH, HS-PTH, and C-PTH were lowered in 9 of these 11 patients, two of this number especially showing a marked suppression of the serum intact-PTH to a low that was near to the normal upper limit level. In the two other cases of these 11 patients, no suppression was seen in any of serum PTH levels throughout the 10 months. In the cases that showed a good response, the 1,25(OH)2D serum concentration elevated significantly, to more than 100 pg/ml at 10 hours after the 1 alpha (OH)D intake. In contrast, in the 2 cases that showed no response, no appreciable elevation in the serum concentrations was noted. Thus, since the pulse therapy using 1 alpha (OH)D decreased the serum levels of the intact-PTH, HS-PTH, and C-PTH in 9 out of the 11 cases, we have concluded that pulse therapy using 1 alpha(OH)D is a valid therapy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

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.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
