Prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) before and under treatment with 1 alpha-hydroxylated derivatives of vitamin D3 in hemodialysis patients of ambulatory hemodialysis centre

Abstract

The prevalence of SHPT and disorders of calcium-phosphorus metabolism were studied in 450 hemodialysis patients of Hemodialysis Centre “FESPHARM” (Moscow). SHPT were diagnosed in accordance with K/DOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines in patients with iPTH levels >300 pg/ml. On admission to the Centre, SHPT was found in 180 patients (40%): mild SHPT (iPTH 300-450 pg/ml) in 13% cases, moderate (iPTH 450-800 pg/ml) SHPT in 16% cases, a severe one (iPTH>800 pg/ml) in 11% of the patients. About one third (131) of centre patients had optimal iPTH levels of 150-300 pg/ml; 144 patients had iPTH levels of less than 150 pg/ml and had signs of adynamic bone disease. The prevalence of SHPT and severity of hyperparathyroidism were significantly lower in patients with diabetic nephropathy in comparison with other diseases. A reciprocal correlation was found between the iPTH level and age of (except diabetic patients). The prevalence of hypercalcemia was about 15% lower than in similar studies described in literature, whereas phosphorus level and prevalence of hyperphosphatemia (about 50%) did not differ significantly from data of other studies. In 152 patients treated the fraction of patients with SHPT was found to decrease from 46% to 27% over 4 years of treatment. Among 70 patients with SHPT treated with 1 alpha-hydroxylated derivatives of vitamin D3 a remission was achieved in 60% cases. In 82 patients with normal iPTH levels the SHPT incidence rate was 10% per year. It increased with duration dialysis treatment.
