Filter by:Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common serious complication in the maintenance process of hemodialysis patients, characterized by diffuse or nodular hyperplasia of parathyroid glands. Parathyroidectomy for patients with drug-refractory SHPT is recommended in the clinical practice guidelines of the Global Organization for Improving Prognosis in Kidney Disease (KDIGO) and the Japanese Dialysis Therapy Society (JSDT) . Therefore, accurate localization and detection of parathyroid abnormalities is the key to avoid persistent recurrence of the disease. However, the sensitivity and specificity of the existing ultrasound and 99MTC-MIBI diagnosis are limited. CT examination is radiative and requires iodine contrast medium with nephrotoxicity, which may require timely dialysis and long-term monitoring for hemodialysis patients. 3T MRI has no radiation and does not need to use iodine contrast agent, which can well detect parathyroid lesions . Previous studies have reported that 3T MRI can diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but the diagnostic efficacy of SHPT is still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the preoperative diagnostic value of non-enhanced 3T MRI compared with 4DCT in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism after hemodialysis.
CoHPT is a prospective, monocentric, observational cohort including all patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism in Nantes University Hospital, aiming to study the outcomes associated with parathyroidectomy. Clinical and biochemical evaluation is performed at the inclusion, and 6, 12, 36 and 60 months. A biocollection is collected. The main hypotheses are that parathyroidectomy could improve cardiovascular, renal, bone, and cardiovascular outcomes along with quality of life.
The overall study objective is to collect real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of ERC to gradually increase 25D to the level required by Stage 3 and 4 CKD patients. ERC (Rayaldee), a prolonged-release calcifediol (PRC) formulation, is an orally administered prohormone of active Vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D)) designed to increase serum total 25D safely and to a high enough magnitude to reliably reduce elevated PTH in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD). Clinical studies show that ERC is an effective, well tolerated treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in ND-CKD patients with Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. ERC gradually raises serum 25D levels, resulting in physiologically regulated increases in serum 1,25D and sustained and progressive reductions in PTH levels, while avoiding clinically meaningful increases in serum phosphate and calcium. To date, experience with the use of ERC results exclusively from patients from the US and mainly from patients who have participated in clinical trials. It is therefore of major interest to observe the value of ERC in daily use outside of the controlled trial settings in the US as well as in Europe. (Protocol v.2.0,06Dec2023).
In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) on bone geometry simultaneously at the tibia and the radius, peripheral bone sites with similar structure but subject to different loading conditions. This evaluation was made by comparing z-scores of bone parameters measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).
Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) has been demonstrated for its serum potassium-lowering efficacy and safety in hyperkalemia hemodialysis patients. However, the effects of SZC during the perioperative period remained unknown. This experiment aimed to determine whether using SZC would impact the serum potassium levels in patients with maintenance hemodialysis after parathyroidectomy (PTX).
Recently, an increase in the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism and hypovitaminosis D in postmenopause women has been occurring in Mexico and the world. Chronic exposure to the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is catabolic for the bone, worsening the state of osteoporosis. However, it is unclear whether these conditions could significantly improve bone mineral density (BMD). In the present work, it was shown that the resolution of hyperparathyroidism in postmenopausal women improves osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic disease of bone mineralization, characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density that causes bone fragility and increases the risk of fractures during menopause. Recently, a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D has been found worldwide, which could trigger a state of secondary hyperparathyroidism that can worsen the state of postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis. An open-label, clinical trial was conducted in Mexican women with postmenopausal osteopenia-osteoporosis to determine the efficacy of the combined treatment with risedronate and high-dose vitamin D in improving bone mineral density, hyperparathyroidism, and hypovitaminosis D.
Parathyroid glands are in the neck and produce a substance called parathormone which maintains the calcium level in the blood. Sometimes one or more of the parathyroid glands become hyperactive and produce too much parathormone which causes increased calcium in the blood which can cause ill effects on multiple parts of the body. Hyperactive glands are identified by Tc-99m Sestamibi (MIBI) scan which helps the surgeons to remove them with minimal risk to the patient. But about 30% of the time MIBI scan does not localize the hyperactive gland. There is some evidence that a new agent called F-18 PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) can localize hyperactive parathyroid. This study is being done to collect preliminary data to answer the question: Can imaging with the PET tracer, F-18 PSMA (Pylarify), prior to parathyroid surgery, provide better information to a surgeon than the standard of care imaging with MIBI scan? Patients who are scheduled for parathyroidectomy and are scheduled for imaging with MIBI scan prior to surgery will be asked to take part in this study. This is a single institutional study to collect preliminary data to help do a larger study. Participants will get MIBI scan first, and the same day will get an F-18 PSMA scan which involves an injection in the vein, waiting an hour, and imaging of the neck and chest area for 10 minutes. The findings of F-18 PSMA will not interfere with the participant's management. Patients who participate will not directly benefit by participating in this study. If the scanning method using F-18 PSMA shows better results than MIBI scan (standard of care) then the investigators will conduct a larger multi-institutional study. If the results prove that F-18 PSMA is better than the standard of care in the larger study, then patients with hyperactive parathyroid patients in the future will benefit.
