title: Failure to show a correlation between serum parathyroid hormone, nerve conduction velocity and serum lipids in hemodialysis patients.
abstract: The proposed role of parathyroid hormone as an important agent for the development of certain uremic complications could not be confirmed in studies correlating, in dialysis patients, the nerve conduction velocity and the serum lipids with four different immunochemically defined forms of circulating parathyroid hormone. To a certain extent the data invalidate suggestions which favor parathyroid hormone as a leading uremic toxin.
