Background: It was well known that patients with end-stage renal disease with uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism had
few options other than parathyroidectomy, which was reserved for patients refractory to medical therapy. The aim
of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of surgery with calcimimetics as treatment strategies for managing
the biochemical abnormalities that characterize secondary hyperparathyroidism, resistant to optimal medical
therapy in ESRD patients.
Subjects and methods: Forty patients with 2HPTH resistant to conventional medical therapy were enrolled. One
cohort of 20 patients was treated with surgical parathyroidectomy, the other cohort of 20 patients with cinacalcet.
Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone profile were measured before and at monthly intervals after intervention.
Results: Both cohorts were comparable in their demographic profile, pretreatment comorbidities, baseline PTH, and
bone profile. In all 20 surgical patients, the 3-month postoperative PTH had decreased by 84% (p<0.001); in the
medical cohort after 3 months of daily cinacalcet, the PTH decreased by 32% (p<0.001) from baseline. This reduction
was maintained at 12 months. In all but 3 surgical patient, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) decreased to normal levels,
whereas on cinacalcet, there was no statistically significant reduction. Patients who underwent parathyroidectomy
had a more significant decrease in PTH (p<0.001) and ALP (p<0.05) than did patients on cinacalcet therapy. Dynamics
BMD from baseline in the cinacalcet vs. PTx groups: L2-L4 +0.07±0.36% (p>0.05) vs.+16.83±2.9% (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Newer calcimimetic agents, such as cinacalcet, may be an alternative, but raise the possibility of indefinite
medical treatment that also would increase costs. PTx and cinacalcet therapy was associated with significant
reductions in iPTH, Ca and CaxP, but bone resorption and formation markers decreased better in the PTx group
compared to cinacalcet group. |
