Vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in the elderly: consequences for bone loss and fractures and therapeutic implications. [PDF]
Vitamin D deficiency is common in the elderly, especially in the housebound and in geriatric patients. The establishment of strict diagnostic criteria is hampered by differences in assay methods for 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The synthesis of vitamin D3 in the

The Role of Diet in Bone and Mineral Metabolism and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Bone disorders are a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity and gut malabsorption. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is defined as an appropriate increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, driven by either reduced serum ...

Advances in the treatment of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) are common and complicated clinical endocrine diseases. The parathyroid glands maintain endocrine homeostasis by secreting parathyroid hormone to regulate blood calcium levels ...

Pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
The past 20 years has witnessed a dramatic improvement in our understanding of the factors involved in the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal insufficiency. The major causes are retention of phosphorus, relatively low levels of serum calcium, and decreased 1,25-(OH)2D3 (calcitriol) levels.

Pathogenesis of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Chronic renal failure is the primary cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Patients with mineral metabolism disorders commonly present with low serum calcium levels, hyperphosphatemia, and calcitriol deficiency. In normal renal function subjects, parathyroid cells have a low turnover and rarely undergo mitoses.

Pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a universal complication in patients with chronic renal failure. Hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands is typically seen in these patients. In early renal failure, alteration in vitamin metabolism, decreased levels of calcitriol and moderate decreases in ionized calcium may allow greater synthesis and secretion of PTH ...

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Hypertension: An Intriguing Couple
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH) is a major complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis burdened with high cardiovascular risk. Hypertension is also a high prevalence complication contributing to an increase in the mortality rate in ...
