目的研究不同钙离子浓度透析液对维持性血液透析(MHD)患者透析过程中钙平衡及全段甲状旁腺激素(iPTH)的影响,为透析患者个体化选择透析液钙离子浓度提供理论依据.方法 12例血钙正常的稳定的MHD患者分别使用钙离子浓度为1.25 mmol/L(DCa1.25)、1.5mmol/L(DCa1.5)和1.75 mmol/L(DCa1.75)的透析液进行血液透析(透析液其他成分不变),每次透析4 h.检测透析前后血清总钙(tCa)、离子钙(iCa)、iPTH及透析废液的iCa和磷(P),并对血压进行监测.结果使用DCa1.25时,患者体内丢失的钙平均为5.03mmol,但透后血iCa和tCa浓度与透前相比无明显变化,iPTH透后较透前显著升高(P<0.05).使用DCa1.5时,患者体内钙的蓄积平均为1.4 mmol,透后血iCa和tCa浓度与透前相比明显升高(P<0.01),其中25%的患者发生透后高血钙,iPTH较透前无明显变化;使用DCa1.75时,患者体内钙的蓄积平均为3.3 mmol,透后血iCa和tCa浓度比透前明显升高(P<0.01),其中83.3%的患者发生透后高血钙,iPTH较透前明显降低(P<0.01).3种透析液对血磷的清除无明显差异(P>0.05).结论对于透前血钙水平正常的患者,DCa1.75的透析液明显增加了患者的钙负荷,增加了透后高钙血症的发生.DCa1.25的透析液能够明显减轻钙负荷,但长期使用应注意监测iPTH水平.对于透前轻度低血钙或在正常值低限的患者,DCa1.5的透析液是适用的,如果发生透后高钙血症,则应改用DCa1.25的透析液. 相似文献

Background A dialysate calcium concentration of 2.5 meq/l (1.25 mmol/l) is currently recommended, but there are not enough studies to examine the effects of this calcium concentration on clinical outcomes. We explored the effects of this calcium concentration on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in hemodialysis patients.Methods The dialysate calcium concentration was lowered from 3.0 meq/l to 2.5 meq/l in 78 hemodialysis patients. The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short Form 36 (SF-36) norm-based scores, the doses of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo), and the serum levels of corrected calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (i-PTH), and hemoglobin were compared at baseline and 8 months after the change of dialysate calcium concentration.Results Seventy-three patients completed the study. Mean changes in SF-36 scores were: physical functioning, −2.4; role physical, −3.9; bodily pain, −3.4; general health perception, −1.5; vitality, −2.2; social functioning, −1.9; role emotional, −2.0; mental health, −2.0. The declines of scores for role physical and bodily pain were significant. Serum i-PTH levels increased significantly, from 212 pg/ml to 278 pg/ml, while the doses of rHuEpo and serum levels of corrected calcium, phosphorus, and hemoglobin did not change significantly.Conclusions A dialysate calcium concentration of 2.5 meq/l was not shown to have positive effects on HRQOL. 相似文献

Background:
Bone mineral densiy (BMD) is known to be affected by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) levels, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels. Indian data pertinent to above observation is scant. Our study aimed to investigate the relationships between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) levels, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels and bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of Indian patients.Materials and Methods:
Adults with or without fragility fractures with low BMD at the hip or lumbar spine were evaluated clinically along with laboratory investigations. T-scores of the hip and spine were derived from BMD-DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). Multivariate regression models were used to investigate the relationships between serum 25(OH) D, iPTH and BMD.Results:
Total of 102 patients (male:female = 38:64) with a mean age of 62.5 ± 6.4 years were included in the study. Forty-four patients had osteopenia. Osteoporosis was present in 58 patients. The mean values for serum 25(OH) D and iPTH levels were 21.3 ± 0.5 ng/ml and 53.1 ± 22.3 pg/ml, respectively. In 84.3% of patients, serum 25(OH) D levels were below 30 ng/ml (Normal = 30-74 ng/ml), confirming vitamin D deficiency. There was no association between 25(OH) D levels and BMD at the hip or lumbar spine (P = 0.473 and 0.353, respectively). Both at the hip and lumbar spine; iPTH levels, male gender, body mass index (BMI) and age were found to be significant predictors of BMD. Patients with higher BMI had significantly lower BMD and T-score. At levels <30 ng/ml, 25(OH) D was negatively associated with iPTH (P = 0.041).Conclusion:
Among our cohort of patients with low BMD, no direct relationship between serum 25(OH) D levels and BMD was observed. However, a negative correlation between iPTH and 25(OH) D at serum 25(OH) D concentrations <30 ng/ml. Serum iPTH levels showed a significant negative association with BMD at the hip and lumbar spine. Our findings underscore the critical role of parathyroid hormone in bone metabolism and health. 相似文献14.

AIM.: The aim of the present study was to examine the long-term efficacyand safety of treatment with a high-normal calcium dialysatewith a calcium concentration of 1.35 mmol/l in patients on CAPD.This dialysate calcium concentration is close to the high-normalplasma ionized calcium level aimed at in dialysis patients inorder to suppress the parathyroid hormone secretion. The end-pointsof the study were (1) plasma ionized calcium (iCa) and phosphate(P) levels, (2) plasma intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels,(3) doses of calcium carbonate and alfacalcidol, (4) requirementsof Al-containing phosphate binders, and (5) bone mineral density(BMD). RESULTS.: Thirty-seven non-selected patients on CAPD treatment were followedfor an average of 10 months after switching from a dialysateCa of 1.75 to 1.35 mmol/l. After 1 week, a significant decreaseof mean iCa from 1.26±0.01 to 1.23±0.01 mmol/l(P<0.05) and an increase of median PTH from 80 to 135 pg/ml(P<0.01) were seen. From the 2nd week and onwards, however,basal levels of iCa and PTH were restored and remained stable.Mean plasma iCa was kept within 1.231.31 mmol/l; meanplasma P below 1.65 mmol/l and median PTH within 52135pg/ml. Episodes of hypercalcaemia were few (1.2 cases of plasmaiCa>1.45 mmol/l per 100 treatment weeks), and the need forAl-containing P binders low with only five patients requringthis treatment for isolated and four patients for repeated episodesof hyperphosphataemia or hypercalcaemia. After switching froma dialysate Ca of 1.75 to 1.35 mmol/l, the doses of calciumcarbonate and alfacalcidol could be significantly increased.Furthermore, using the dialysate Ca of 1.35 mmol/l made it possibleto induce a controlled increase of PTH levels to 80100pg/ml by a temporarily discontinuation of alfacalcidol and/ora reduction of calcium carbonate dosage in the patients wherePTH had become suppressed to levels below the upper normal limit.The intention of the treatment was to maintain PTH levels within1.52.5 times the upper normal limit for non-uraemic patients.Pre-study BMD of the vertebral bodies L2L4 and of thefemoral neck were normal and not significantly different frompost-study measurements. CONCLUSIONS.: The present study demonstrated that when using a high-normaldialysate Ca concentration of 1.35 mmol/l in non-selected patientson CAPD treatment, high-normal plasma iCa and near-normal plasmaP levels could be readily achieved with a minimal risk of incidentalhypercalcaemia despite use of calcium carbonate as the mainP binder. As a consequnce of the tight Ca and P regulation,minimal doses of alfacalcidol were required to keep PTH withinacceptable limits. We recommend this dialysate Ca concentrationas a first-choice therapy for the majority of patients startingon CAPD treatment. 相似文献

Natural history of parathyroid function and calcium metabolism after kidney transplantation: a single-centre study. 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:6

BACKGROUND: The natural history of parathyroid function after successful renal transplantation (RT) and the factors predisposing to persistent hyperparathyroidism (HPT) are not well established. A better knowledge of these data may be helpful in the development of algorithms for optimal surveillance and treatment of HPT after successful RT. Our aim was to evaluate the post-transplant natural history of parathyroid function and calcium metabolism in patients with a functional renal graft and to identify risk factors for persistent HPT. METHODS: Charts of 1165 allograft kidney recipients transplanted between 1989 and 2000 were reviewed. Patients with an intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level available at the time of transplantation were identified. The charts of the latter patients were checked for a variety of demographic and clinical data, and all determinations of the iPTH concentration available since transplantation were recorded. Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatases and creatinine, concurrently determined, were also registered. RESULTS: After an initial fall, iPTH levels showed a slow but steady decline towards the upper normal limit. The prevalence of persistent HPT, defined as an iPTH level > or =2.5 times the upper normal limit or the need for parathyroidectomy following transplantation, remained stable at approximately 17% up to 4 years after transplantation. Patients with persistent HPT had significantly elevated serum levels of iPTH, calcium and phosphorus at the time of RT, and had spent a longer time on dialysis. Post-transplant iPTH levels correlated significantly with transplant kidney function. CONCLUSION: Kidney transplant recipients with a high iPTH and calcium x phosphate product at the time of transplantation are at risk for persistent HPT especially when renal function is suboptimal. Therapy for persistent HPT, if considered, should be initiated 3 months post-transplantation since further spontaneous improvement of parathyroid function thereafter is limited. 相似文献
