Secondary hyperparathyroidism is an early complication of chronic kidney disease, with increasing severity as the glomerular filtration rate decreases and characterized by a progressive increase in parathyroid hormone and growth of the parathyroid glands. It is generally accepted that a deficiency in active form of vitamin D or calcitriol levels seems to play a relevant role in its development and progression of secondary hyperparathyroidism. A reduction in plasma calcitriol levels occurs early in renal disease. Major renal guidelines recommend use of vitamin D for secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease. In the treatment vitamin D receptor activation inhibit glandular hyperplasia; reduce parathyroid hormone levels impact on bone turnover and mineral density. Treatment with calcitriol can occasionally result in hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in renal patients due promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption. This limits its suitability for the treatment. But next generation vitamin-D analogs such as paricalcitol have lower intestinal absorption of calcium, phosphorous and significantly lowers renin levels, albuminuria and blood pressure. In this article, we present the case of a Caucasian male with type 2 diabetes and secondary hyperparathyroidism in stages 34 chronic kidney disease. Our case study shows that in treating for secondary hyperparathyroidisms selective vitamin D receptor activation with paricalcitol reduction of levels parathyroid hormone, albuminuria, offering low chance hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and other side effects.

In the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism of end-stage chronic kidney disease, vitamin D receptor activation and allosteric modulators of the calcium-sensing receptor – inhibit glandular hyperplasia, reduce parathyroid hormone levels, impact on bone turnover and mineral density. But the use of calcimimetic and vitamin D analogs or mimetics did not reduce the need for parathyroidectomy for refractory hyperparathyroidism. The enlarged parathyroid gland and gland nodular transformation became refractory to medical therapy and patient need for parathyroidectomy. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a state of excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone after a long period of secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal transplantation. In this article, we present the case of a Caucasian male with chronic kidney disease (end-stage on chronic hemodialysis and after kidney transplantation) and different forms of hyperparathyroidism (secondary and tertiary). Our case study shows that only a multi-interventional strategy is likely to be more effective treatment in cases of severe and refractory to medical therapy hyperparathyroidism.

Paricalcitol, a selective vitamin D receptor (VDR) activator used for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD), has been associated with survival advantages, suggesting that this drug, beyond its ability to suppress parathyroid hormone, may have additional beneficial actions. In this prospective, nonrandomised, open-label, proof-of-concept study, we evaluated the hypothesis that selective vitamin D receptor activation with paricalcitol is an effective target to modulate inflammation in CKD patients. Eight patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate between 15 and 44 mL/min/1.73 m2and an intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) level higher than 110 pg/mL received oral paricalcitol (1 μg/48 hours) as therapy for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Nine patients matched by age, sex, and stage of CKD, but a PTH level <110 pg/mL, were enrolled as a control group. Our results show that five months of paricalcitol administration were associated with a reduction in serum concentrations of hs-CRP (13.9%,P<0.01), TNF-α(11.9%,P=0.01), and IL-6 (7%,P<0.05), with a nonsignificant increase of IL-10 by 16%. In addition, mRNA expression levels of the TNFαand IL-6 genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells decreased significantly by 30.8% (P=0.01) and 35.4% (P=0.01), respectively. In conclusion, selective VDR activation is an effective target to modulate inflammation in CKD.

In the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism of end-stage chronic kidney disease, vitamin D receptor activation and allosteric modulators of the calcium-sensing receptor - inhibit glandular hyperplasia; reduce parathyroid hormone levels, impact on bone turnover and mineral density. Cinacalcet, an oral calcimimetic agent has been widely used for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, some patients remain refractory to the treatment, as the dose of cinacalcet cannot be sufficiently increased due to gastrointestinal symptoms and it strong inhibits of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. In order to resolve this issue, was develop a newly synthesized calcimimetic agent, evocalcet (MT-4580/KHK7580). In a rat model of chronic kidney disease induced by 5/6 nephrectomy, and in multicenter, open-label study phase 3, and in clinical practice oral administration of evocalcet efficiently suppressed the secretion of parathyroid hormone. Evocalcet also demonstrated the less induction of emesis and gastro-intestinal effects, and its pharmacological effects were observed at lower doses because of its higher bioavailability than cinacalcet. In addition, evocalcet showed no substantial direct inhibition of any CYP isozymes in in vitro. These findings suggest that evocalcet can be a better alternative to cinacalcet with a wider safety margin.

Abstract. Background/Aims: Trials on the effects of cholecalciferol supplementation in type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease patients were underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different doses of vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and metabolic parameters in vitamin D-deficient Korean diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: 92 patients completed this study: the placebo group (A, n = 33), the oral cholecalciferol 1,000 IU/day group (B, n = 34), or the single 200,000 IU injection group (C, n = 25, equivalent to 2,000 IU/day). 52% of the patients had less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 of glomerular filtration rates. Laboratory test and pulse wave velocity were performed before and after supplementation. Results: After 12 weeks, serum 25(OH)D concentrations of the patients who received vitamin D supplementation were significantly increased (A, -2.4 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. B, 10.7 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. C, 14.6 ± 1.7 ng/mL; p < 0.001). In addition, the lipid profiles in the vitamin D injection group (C) showed a significant decrease in triglyceride and a rise in HDL cholesterol. However, the other parameters showed no differences. Conclusions: Our data indicated that two different doses and routes of vitamin D administration significantly and safely increased serum 25(OH)D concentrations in vitamin D-deficient diabetes patients with comorbid chronic kidney disease. In the group that received the higher vitamin D dose, the lipid profiles showed significant improvement, but there were no beneficial effects on other metabolic parameters.

Abstract Background and Aims Among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at predialysis stage, there is a high incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Metabolic changes associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism lead to renal osteodystrophy, including osteitis fibrosa, ectopic calcification, cardiovascular disease, and the risk of death, and serum parathyroid hormone levels are influenced by nutritional variables. Non-dialyzed CKD patients are especially prone to vitamin C deficiency because of dietary restrictions and malnutrition. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and relates to the development and maintenance of bone tissues. However, the contribution of vitamin C deficiency to parathyroid hormone secretion is unknown. Here, we performed a single-center cross-sectional study in order to assess association of serum vitamin C and parathyroid hormone in non-dialyzed CKD patients. Method We had 280 consecutive patients who underwent serum vitamin C and serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) measurement for screening purposes from January 1st, 2013 to November 30th, 2017. We analysed a total of 128 patients (71.3±11.6 year-old, 80 males) who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that remained less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 after 152 patients were excluded because of vitamin C or vitamin D supplementation, age &lt;20 years, dialysis, positive serostatus for HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, chronic infection, or cancer. Results Twenty-three percent of the patients (n=29) had vitamin C levels&lt; 2.0 μg/mL (a range seen in very deficient subjects), 53% (n=68) had levels between 2.0 and 5.5 μg/mL, and 31 patients (24%) had vitamin C levels &gt;5.5 μg/mL, which is considered the upper limit of normal for the healthy population. Log(iPTH) significantly correlated with age (r=-0.238, p=0.00672), log(eGFR) (r=-0.625, p&lt;0.0001), serum calcium (r=-0.609, p&lt;0.0001), and serum phosphate (r=0.41, p&lt;0.0001), and had a tendency to correlate with serum albumin (r=-0.146, p=0.101). Low serum vitamin C was associated with higher serum iPTH (P=0.0005, one-way analysis of variance). In a multiple linear regression model with log(iPTH) as the dependent variable, and age, gender, log(eGFR), serum levels of calcium, phosphate, albumin, and vitamin C as independent variables, the inverse relationship of log(iPTH) and serum vitamin C was confirmed (R2 = 0.568, adjusted R2 = 0.543, P&lt;0.0001), along with other parameters influencing iPTH levels, including age, log(eGFR), serum calcium, and serum phosphate. Low vitamin C levels were also associated with increased serum alkaline phosphatase (r=-0.209, p=0.0179), a further indicator of the impact of vitamin C status on bone metabolism. Conclusion Vitamin C deficiency is prevalent in a significant proportion of non-dialyzed CKD patients. Low vitamin C levels contribute to secondary hyperparathyroidism, leading to increased bone turnover. This novel observation may result from effects of vitamin C on vitamin D metabolism, vitamin D binding in target tissues, and cAMP-linked signalling pathways in bone and parathyroid gland. Therapeutic intervention with supplemental vitamin C for secondary hyperparathyroidism might be a good strategy.
