Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a universal complication of chronic renal failure. It has been proposed that the markedly elevated levels of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (i-PTH) in uremia may represent a “uremic toxin” responsible for many of the abnormalities of the uremic state. Plasma i-PTH consists of a mixture of intact hormone, a single-chain polypeptide of 84 amino acids, and smaller molecular weight hormonal fragments from both the carboxy- and amino-terminal portion of the PTH molecule. The hormonal fragments arise from metabolism of intact PTH by peripheral organs as well as from secretion of fragments from the parathyroid glands. The structural requirements for the known biological actions of PTH reside in the amino-terminal portion of the PTH molecule. Carboxy-terminal fragments, biologically inactive at least in terms of adenylate cyclase activation, hypercalcemia, or phosphaturia, depend on the kidney for their removal from plasma, and thus accumulate in the circulation in chronic renal failure. It is unknown at the present time if other biological effects of these carboxy-terminal fragments may contribute to some of the biochemical alterations observed in uremia. The most significant consequence of increased PTH levels in uremia is the development of bone disease characterized by osteitis fibrosa. In addition, it would appear that PTH plays an important role in some of the abnormal electroencephalographic patterns observed in uremia. This may be due to a potential role of PTH in increasing calcium content of brain. Parathyroid hormone also has been implicated as a pathogenetic factor in many other alterations present in uremia, i.e., peripheral neuropathy, carbohydrate intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and other alterations. Unfortunately, outstanding clinical research is lacking in this field and conclusive experimental data are practically nonexistent. Further studies are necessary if one is to accept the concept of PTH being a significant “uremic toxin.”

Immunoreactive Parathyroid Hormone

Normal pregnancy is associated with an increase in serum parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol). The effect of pregnancy on these hormones in chronic renal failure (CRF) is unknown. The present work was undertaken to study the changes of serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and calcitriol in pregnant rats with CRF. The following experimental groups were studied: CRF1 (5/6 nephrectomized virgin female rats), CRF2 (5/6 nephrectomized pregnant rats at day 20–21 of pregnancy), CRF3 (5/6 nephrectomized rats 2 weeks after delivery) and their respective sham-operated control groups: N1, N2 and N3. The 5/6 nephrectomy (CRF1) resulted in renal failure with very high serum iPTH (100±18 pg/ml) and low calcitriol levels (10.6±4.3 pg/ml) compared with normal rats [N1: 14±2.5 pg/ml (P< 0.001) and 18.2±4.2 pg/ml (P< 0.01) respectively]. The pregnancy in CRF rats (CRF2) resulted in normalization of serum iPTH levels (18.2±5.41 pg/ml), which was associated with a parallel increase in serum calcitriol (29.4±8.0 pg/ml) similar to that in pregnancy of normal rats (N2). Two weeks after delivery the CRF rats (CRF3) once again had high serum iPTH (87±17 pg/ml) and low calcitriol levels (9.3±1.2 pg/ml), similar to those observed in non-pregnant uraemic rats (CRF1). It is concluded that pregnancy decreases serum iPTH in 5/6 nephrectomized CRF rats most probably by the increased level of calcitriol synthesized by the feto-placental unit.

Abstract Antisera directed toward the carboxyl-terminal region of human parathyrin (parathyroid hormone), for use in daignostically applicable radioimmunoassays of the hormone in serum, are scarce, largely because of the lack of suitable immunogens of human origin. We produced four antisera in goats and guinea pigs by immunization with recently discovered carboxyl-terminal fragments of human parathyrin extracted from parathyroid tumors. Here, we report results of radioimmunoassays of nearly 200 normal and pathological sera with one of these antisera; we observed almost complete differentiation between concentrations of parathyrin in serum of healthy normal subjects and patients with primary, secondary (due to chronic renal failure), or "ectopic" hyperparathyroidism (due to nonparathyroid cancer). The availability of a new immunogen should now make possible the deliberate production of large quantities of diagnostically applicable parathyrin antisera directed toward the carboxyl-terminal region of human parathyrin. This should, in turn, lead to more widespread availability of this useful radioimmunoassay.
