This is a Phase 3 Study of Etelcalcetide in Pediatric Subjects With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis
Results from KDOQI guidelines, parathyroid hormone (PTH) level within target range is 150-300pg/ml. Both lower PTH levels and higher PTH levels were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, in out of target range, it is still unknown which mortality higher. so, in this prospective, observational clinical trial study. the investigators will observe the mortality and cardiovascular incidence rate between SHPT(>800pg/ml) and low serum PTH levels(<60pg/ml). Both two groups of patients will receive a reasonable treatment according to the suggestions in K/DOQI guidelines.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often have associated systemic hypertension due to volume retention, as one of the mechanisms, therefore the use of diuretics is widespread in this population. One of the major complications of CKD is mineral and bone metabolism disorder (CKD-MBD), which include changes in the levels of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D deficiency, increased circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). These alterations are responsible for fractures, cardiovascular disease and mortality among patients with CKD. According to diuretic mechanism of action, sometimes increasing serum calcium (in the case of furosemide), sometimes decreasing it (in the case of thiazide), it is expected that the serum calcium may be altered, even within the range of normality, with consequent impact on the levels of PTH. Although most studies have shown that the use of thiazide diuretics decreases the risk of fractures, some showed the opposite. Similarly, although most studies have shown increased risk of fracture in association to loop diuretics use, some have failed in demonstrated this outcome. Only one study, a cohort study in a population of CKD, showed that furosemide was directly related to increased calciuria and PTH levels and the use of thiazide, in turn, showed completely opposite effect. However, certain issues are still not completely solved, for example, the interference of renal function itself on calciuria. It is possible that calciuria is not a so simple explanation that justifies the PTH levels changes, as no correlation was seen between calciuria and PTH levels. Better understanding of the exact relationship between the use of diuretics and the impact on CKD-MBD may be an alternative intervention, easily accessible and relatively inexpensive. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of diuretic, specifically hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide, on bone architecture and mineral metabolism.
Microwave ablation, as a new method to therapy secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT), now is developing rapidly. However, it is still unknown whether it is effective to accept microwave ablation for hemodialysis patients with mild-to-moderate SHPT. In this prospective, randomised control and paried clinical trial study, the investigators will observe the efficiency and safety of microwave ablation in hemodialysis patients with mild-to-moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism. The patients in age-matched control group will accept active Vitamin D therapy.
Clinical study aimed at improving anemia management in End Stage Renal Disease Patient (ESRD) on maintenance Hemodialysis with evidence of Chronic Kidney disease Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD)
Twelve-month, multicenter, intra-subject controlled (retrospective-prospective), open-label, active-treatment study to evaluate the dose-response and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cinacalcet HCl for the treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in paediatric subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis, followed by 12-month study extension.
