Comparing the values of intact parathormone and 1- 84 PTH to predict hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading high mortality and even long-term morbidity. SHPT is manifested by elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and accurate determining the level of serum PTH is very essential for early diagnosis of SHPT secondary to CKD. It is very important to match the values obtained for intact parathormone (iPTH) and 1- 84 PTH with the minimized measurement bias.

Objectives

The present study aimed to first determine the agreement value between the iPTH and 1- 84 PTH measures in patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to endstage renal disease under chronic hemodialysis. Then, we attempted to determine the best cutoff values for these two measurements for detecting SHPT in suc
