Structural changes to large arteries and abnormalities in mineral and bone metabolism are frequent manifestations in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Together, they contribute in a large part to the heightened morbidity and mortality observed in this population.
Epidemiological data in
The scientific purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of sVDRA(Selective Vitamin D Receptor Activator) in real-life clinical practice. This study will allow us to observe drug effectiveness in a distinct geography. Treatment effects, as well as maintenance of the results will be recorded
This is a multicenter randomized open study with 2 treatment arms (nicotinamide / Sevelamer).
Laboratories who will dose biochemical parameters and PTH, ignore which treatment is received by patients.
The team which will measure bone density and the radiologist or rheumatologist who will appreciate
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common feature in patients with chronic kidney disease. Its clinical consequences include renal osteodystrophy, calciphylaxia and potentially vascular calcifications with increased morbidity and mortality.
Reduced synthesis of active vitamin D contributes to
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to determine if long-term use of alendronate can suppress coronary artery and aortic calcification in chronic PD patients. The effect of alendronate on bone mineral density in this patient group is also evaluated.
