Calcitonin secretion in chronic renal patients treated with hemodialysis. 1981

Calcitonin levels were studied in 18 patients with chronic renal insufficiency periodically hemodialysed, comparatively with 9 only drug-treated uremic patients. Calcitonin was radioimmunologically assayed before and after hemodialysis and repeated 5 months later in some of the patients. Serum calcitonin was increased in most of the studied patients, especially in the dialysed ones and with a creatinine clearance below 10 ml/min. Calcitonin concentration was all the more increased as the dialytic treatment lasted longer. Considering the increasing role of calcitonin as osteoprotector, these findings might be of interest in the treatment of renal osteopathy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
