Acute effect of cimetidine and pirenzepine on plasma parathyroid hormone and calcitonin in haemodialyzed patients. 1983

J Zazgornik, and R Dudczak, and M Fuhrmann, and L Marosi, and E Minar, and P Balcke

The acute effects of intravenous injection of cimetidine and pirenzepine on plasma iPTH and CT were studied in seven patients on chronic haemodialysis and seven healthy controls. As expected, the resting iPTH and CT levels were significantly higher in patients on RDT than in the healthy subjects. Both drugs decreased to a similar extent the increased plasma iPTH in the patients, but neither was able entirely to normalize the elevated level. The CT concentration in the patients on haemodialysis was significantly decreased by cimetidine but was only moderately reduced by pirenzepine. As neither drug was able to normalize the elevated PTH level in patients on chronic dialysis, it can be assumed that neither used alone would improve signs and symptoms of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

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.

D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002927 Cimetidine A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.
