title: Ratio of cyclase activating and cyclase inactive parathormone (CAP/CIP) in dialysis patients: correlations with other markers of bone disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We checked correlation of CAP/CIP with osteoprotegrin (OPG), its soluble ligand (OPGL) and routinely measured parameters of bone turnover in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD).
  
  
  METHODS
  In 30 patients (22 HD, 8 PD) we determined serum concentrations of intact parathormone (iPTH), CAP, OPG, OPGL, total Ca, inorganic phosphates (Pi), creatinine, urea, total alkaline phosphatase (AP) and blood pH. CIP was calculated by subtraction of CAP from iPTH. Controls (Cs) included 9 healthy persons in whom iPTH, CAP, OPG and OPGL were measured as well as CIP, CAP/CIP and OPGL/OPG were calculated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Differences between HD and PD patients included dialysis duration, OPGL, OPGL/OPG, AP, Pi, Ca and pH. After adjustment to dialysis duration differences in OPGL/OPG, Pi, Ca and pH remained significant. HD patients differed from Cs in terms of iPTH, CAP, CIP, OPGL, OPG and OPGL/OPG. In whole group of patients iPTH, CAP, CIP but not CAP/CIP correlated negatively with OPGL and OPGL/OPG as well as positively with dialysis duration, OPG and AP.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite more advanced uremic bone disease in longer dialyzed HD patients than in shorter dialyzed PD ones, CAP/CIP is not different neither between these groups nor Cs persons. CAP/CIP does not seem to be more powerful tool in noninvasive diagnosis of bone disease than iPTH or CAP and CIP alone.
