[The behavior of the parathyroid hormone secretion in hemodialyzed patients with chronic kidney failure]
Abstract:
In 15 patients with chronic renal insufficiency the influence of the haemodialysis on the level of the blood serum of immune-reactive parathormone (iPTH). In the therapy of dialysis a wash with high calcium content (= 8 mg/100 ml) was used. After a single haemodialysis a decrease of the iPTH-level was observed. After a dialysis therapy lasting several months the values of the iPTH-concentration in 7 of 8 examined patients were significantly lower than before this therapy. The results cited prove that by means of a wash with high calcium content the increased PTH-secretion may be diminished in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.
