In 12 children aged four-and-a-half to 18 years (mean 11 ±4.2) undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPO), serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), ionized calcium (iCa) levels, and calcium mass transfer (CaMT) were measured on three consecutive days: day 1, after a four-hour interval between dialyses; on day 2, after four hours dwell time with peritoneal dialysis (PD) Ca 3.5 mEq/L; and on day 3, after four hours dwell time with PD Ca 2.5 mEq/L. A significantly more negative CaMT was found when PD Ca 2.5 mEq/L was used, as compared with values obtained using PD Ca 3.5 mEq/L. Significantly lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) values were found after the interval between exchanges. We conclude that in order to properly evaluate parathyroid gland function and to decide whether or not to give vitamin D metabolites, a protocol for determining PTH should be standardized.

A 76-year-old renal transplant patient due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who resumed chronic haemodialysis was admitted to our hospital for confusion and lassitude. He was afebrile and physical examination revealed diffuse bilateral rales with decreased respiratory sounds in lower right lung. Laboratory data showed hypercalcaemia (total calcium 3.92 mmol/L (normal range 2.2–2.6 mmol/L), ionised calcium 1.87 mmol/L (1.15–1.35 mmol/L)), low intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) 15 ng/L, (15–65 ng/L) and high 1,25(OH)2D3 128.9 pg/mL, (15.2–90.1 pg/mL). Chest CT-scan revealed bilateral apical lung lesions after 15 days of antibiotics. Bronchoalveolar sample was PCR positive for Pneumocystis jirovecii. He was treated with an extra session of haemodialysis with 1.25 mmol/L dialysate calcium concentration, oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was started and oral corticosteroid dose increased to 1 mg/kg for 1 week. Hypercalcaemia decreased progressively after initiation of these treatments. We concluded a case of hypercalcaemia secondary to P. jirovecii infection.
