Mineral metabolism, mortality, and morbidity in maintenance hemodialysis. (2004, background): “Coco and Rush (33) showed an increased risk of fracture with lower PTH concentrations, although these results were not adjusted for age, gender, race, or other factors jointly associated with PTH and fracture risk.”
KDIGO clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis, evaluation, prevention, and treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) (2009, neutral): “36 (NS); Mean whole (1-84) PTH (pmol/L): 17.”
Activated injectable vitamin D and hemodialysis survival: a historical cohort study. (2005, background): “Injectable vitamin D therapy is associated with decreased serum levels of PTH, which have been linked to adynamic bone disease (59,60), and increased calcium and phosphorus levels, which have been linked to excess coronary calcification (56,61), important intermediate outcomes that we were unable to”
