Half of these of patients were treated with alphacalcidol pulses. In 47% of patients hypercalcemic episodes were noted, 76% had PTH level < 50 pg/ml. Four patients with osteoporosis (low bone volume at histological analysis) were distinguished. Two of them were treated with corticosteroids, 1 was immobilized for a long time.
