Abstract:
By serum concentration of c-PTH, 18 hemodialysis patients were divided into 3 groups: group I (< 2.0 ng/ml, n = 8), group II (2.0-10.0 ng/ml, n = 5), group III (> 10.0 ng/ml, n = 5). When patients were dialyzed with Ca-free dialysate during the first 2 hours intact PTH level in serum shows no or slight increase in 5 out of 8 in group I.
