[Clinical analysis of time-course changes in minerals and parathyroid hormone levels during treatment with phosphate binders in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism].
146 hemodialysis (HD) patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (2 degrees HPT) were studied about the therapeutic effects of phosphate binders. We divided these patients into four groups; Group I: 59 patients treated with CaCO(3) (1.5-6.0 g/day), Group II: 42 cases with sevelamer hydrochloride (0.75-9.0 g/day), Group III: 30 with both CaCO(3) and sevelamer, Group IV: 15 with both CaCO(3) and cholestimide (1.5-6.0 g/day). These patients were prescribed several phosphate binders for at least 18 months. The serum levels of P, albumin-corrected Ca (Ca), Ca x P product and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were serially determined. In Group I and IV, these four parameters showed no significant difference between at before administration and at after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. In Group II, the values of iPTH, Ca and Ca x P product between at before sevelamer administration and at after 9 months were 199.43+/-94.40 vs 159.86+/-96.03 pg/mL (p<0.05), 9.48+/-1.12 vs 9.01+/-1.00 mg/dL (p<0.05) and 62.72+/-19.62 vs 50.44+/-25.97 mg(2)/dL(2) (p<0.05), respectively. In Group III, P showed significant decrease from 7.16+/-1.33 to 6.72+/-1.69 mg/dL (p<0.05) between at the time of adding sevelamer to CaCO(3) and at after nine months. These results indicate that sevelamer plays an excellent role in the treatment of 2 degrees HPT mainly by controlling Ca level and the combination therapy with CaCO(3) is useful for improvement of P level in patients undergoing HD.
