Abstract:
Secondary hyperparathyroidism-related disorders begin in the pre-dialysis period and progressively worsen during dialysis. In a high proportion of cases, therapeutic failure in the control of PTH secretion is related to a late start in medical treatment. This may happen because recovery of the functional control of the parathyroid gland, once some irreversible molecular and genetic changes have occurred, can be only partial. These irreversible changes include promotion of cell proliferation and failure of several pathways affecting the metabolism of DNA, RNA and proteins.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
