The abnormal metabolism of calcium and bone is one of the most common complications seen in chronic dialysis patients. The activity of PTH has been mainly assessed by intact PTH assay; however, recent data suggest that this assay may overestimate PTH activity by detecting 7-84 PTH fragments in addition to 1-84 PTH molecules(whole PTH). Another issue in this field is that higher levels of PTH are needed to maintain normal bone turnover in uremic patients. Accumulated osteoprotegerin in uremic serum may be responsible for this skeletal resistance to PTH.
