SECONDARY AND TERTIARY HYPERPARATHYROIDSIS IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Abstract

Treatment goals for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease are aimed at preventing disease progression and suppressing parathyroid activity through modulation of vitamin D receptors and calcium-sensing receptors. However, treatment options are limited in severe hyperparathyroidism; monoclonal changes and nodular transformation of glands with loss of receptors for vitamin D and calcium form resistance to this therapy with the development of drug-uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism.

Keywords
