Correlation of Serum Magnesium with Serum Parathormone Levels in Patients on Regular Hemodialysis
No full textSecondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common, important, and treatable complication of end-stage renal disease. This study was conducted to investigate the role of serum magnesium (Mg) in regulating the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid gland in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Pre-dialysis serum levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), Mg, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), intact serum PTH (iPTH), serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25-OH Vit D) and plasma bicarbonate (HCO3) were measured. The Urea Reduction Rate as well as duration and dosage of HD treatment were noted. Our study did not show any significant correlation between serum Mg levels and duration of HD treatment, levels of serum ALP, and plasma HCO3, Ca and P. An inverse correlation, albeit insignificant, was found between the serum Mg levels and iPTH (r=-0.30 p=0.079); also, a significant positive correlation was found between serum Mg levels and serum 25-OH Vit D levels (r= 0.40 p= 0.009). Our findings are in agreement with previous data, which suggest that factors other than serum Mg are more important in the regulation of PTH secretion in HD patients. A positive and strong association between serum Mg with 25-OH Vit D needs to be studied in greater detail
Correlation of serum parathyroid hormone with pulmonary artery pressure in non-diabetic regular hemodialysis patients
No full textAbstract
Introduction: Pulmonary artery hypertension in end-stage renal disease is associated by significantly increased
morbidity and mortality. Serum parathormone may increase among patients on hemodialysis and influence various
organs.
Objectives: This study sought to find the association of serum parathormone level and pulmonary artery pressure in a
group of non-diabetic patients on regular hemodialysis.
Materials and Methods: This prospective investigation was conducted in the hemodialysis section of Shahrekord
University of Medical Sciences in 2013. Doppler echocardiography were used to assess pulmonary artery pressure.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is defined as systolic PAP≥35 mm Hg at rest. Serum parathormone was measured by
ECL method.
Results: Sixty-five, non-diabetic hemodialysis patients were studied. Mean (±SD) of age of the patients was 56.35±20.41
years. Mean (±SD) of iPTH was 251.55±97.27 pg/ml. In this study, a significant positive association of serum iPTH with
pulmonary artery pressure in patients was seen (r=0.27, p=0.029).
Conclusion: In the present study, we detected a significant positive association of serum parathyroid hormone with
pulmonary artery pressure of hemodialysis patients however, our observations, warranting further investigations to
evaluate the clinical aspect of the association of serum PTH with pulmonary artery pressure.
