Abstract

Context: Disturbances in mineral metabolism are commonly seen in patients with chronic renal failure.But there are very few studies on their prevalence in Indian dialysis population. Aim: To know the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis. Settings and Design: Hospital based cross sectional study. Methods and Material: This study was done on 85 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for ≥ six months and data was collected between January 2018 and December 2018, for a period of one year. Patients were examined for clinical features of secondary hyperparathyroidism and serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, 25 hydroxy vitamin D and intact parathyroid hormone levels were measured. Statistical analysis used: The data was analysed with SPSS using Descriptive statistics, Chi-square testand significance by p value. Results: Various mineral, bone abnormalities in our study population were as follows-hypercalcemia (5.88%), hypocalcemia (36.47%), hyperphosphatemia (30.59%), hypophosphatemia (28.24%), hyperparathyroidism (36.48%), hypoparathyroidism (10.59%), deficiency of vitamin D(52.94%) and insufficiency of vitamin D (20%). Conclusions: Prevalence rate of secondary hyperparathyroidism was 36% in our study and 40% had oversuppresion of iPTH levels. One third of our patients had a risk of adynamic bone disease. Keywords: Chronic kidney disease; Secondary hyperparathyroidism; hemodialysis.
