Five patients with haemodialysis bone disease were treated with 1 to 1.5 mug of 1,25 (OH)2D3 daily for periods ranging from 6 -8 months. There was a significant improvement in calcium absorption but no troublesome hypercalcaemia was encountered. Secondary hyperparathyroidism improved, both histologically and radiologically, and there was a fall in serum PTH and return of serum alkaline phosphatase to within normal limits. There was also improvement in the patients' mineralisation status, but this change was slower and less marked. Muscle power improved significantly, both clinically and electromyographically.
