Abstract
Context: Factors contributing to PTH resistance in dialysis patients remain elusive. Objectives: The study assessed the skeletal and biochemical response to 46 h of PTH(1-34) infusion in dialysis patients. Design: The study was a prospective, controlled assessment of response to PTH(1-34). Setting: The study was performed at the University of California, Los Angeles, General Clinical Research Center. Participants: Nineteen dialysis patients and 17 healthy volunteers were studied. Intervention: PTH(1-34) was infused at a rate of 8 pmol/kg · h for 46 h. Bone biopsy was performed in all dialysis patients. Main Outcome Measures: Serum calcium, phosphorus, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, PTH (four separate assays), and FGF-23 were determined at baseline and h 7, 23, 35, and 46 of the infusion. Results: Serum calcium levels rose in healthy volunteers (9.2 ± 0.1 to 11.9 ± 0.3 mg/dl; P < 0.01) and in dialysis patients with adynamic/normal bone turnover (9.0 ± 0.3 to 10.7 ± 0.7 mg/dl; P < 0.05) but did not change in dialysis patients with high bone turnover. Serum phosphorus levels declined in healthy volunteers (3.9 ± 0.1 to 3.5 ± 0.1 mg/dl; P < 0.05) but increased in all dialysis patients (6.7 ± 0.4 to 8.0 ± 0.3 mg/dl; P < 0.05). Full-length PTH(1-84) declined in all subjects; however, PTH(7-84) fragments declined only in healthy subjects and in dialysis patients with normal/adynamic bone but remained unchanged in dialysis patients with high bone turnover. Conclusions: The skeleton of dialysis patients with high bone turnover is resistant to the calcemic actions of PTH. PTH(7-84) may contribute to this phenomenon.Keywords
