The World

Hypocalcaemia accounts for many of the telephone inquiries made to the Department of Biochemical Medicine in Dundee. About half of these cases can be explained by hypoalbuminaemia; the causes of “true” hypocalcaemia are given in Table 1. Chronic renal failure is probably the most frequent cause of hypocalcaemia in Britain. In the world as a whole it is likely that vitamin D deficiency, causing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, is the commonest cause of hypocalcaemia.

The Difference

Introduction: Parathyroid hormone levels provide important information in chronic renal failure. Aim: To compare parathyroid hormone levels measured by two assays in correlation with vitamin D supply. Method: Parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxi-vitamin-D were determined in 104 patients (31 patients with chronic renal failure without renal replacement therapy, 36 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis and 37 patients treated with hemodialysis). Results: Good correlation was found between results of the two parathyroid hormone methods, but the intact parathyroid hormone levels were higher than the biointact values. 87% and 13% of the patients had vitamin-D deficiency and insufficiency, respectively. The frequency of serious vitamin-D deficiency was higher in the peritoneal dialysis than in the hemodialysis group. Intact parathyroid hormone levels were different in dialysed patients having vitamin-D-deficiency and insufficiency, and the difference was higher for the biointact than intact values. Negative correlation was detected between biointact parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxivitamin-D in the hemodialysis group. Conclusions: Biointact parathyroid hormone levels better reflect the vitamin D supply and bone metabolism than intact levels, especially in hemodialysed patients. Orv.

1. The distribution of intact parathyroid hormone-(1–84) [PTH-(1–84)] and of its COOH-terminal fragments was determined in human serum by column chromatography. In addition to PTH-(1–84) (peak I), COOH-terminal fragments having molecular weights of approximately 4000–7000 (peak II) and immunoreactive components co-eluting with human PTH-(1–12) (peak III) were observed. 2. Mean concentrations of intact PTH-(1–84) and of its COOH-terminal fragments were significantly raised in chronic renal failure as compared with those of normal subjects. Mean amounts of peak II were higher in patients with chronic renal insufficiency than in nutritional vitamin D deficiency, in pseudohypoparathyroidism and in primary hyperparathyroidism, despite comparable amounts of PTH-(1–84). 3. In chronic renal failure as well as in a group of patients with vitamin D deficiency, pseudohypoparathyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism and in controls, significant linear relations were found between the serum concentrations of calcium and log (peak II/peak I). Our findings suggest that the conversion of intact PTH-(1–84) into COOH-terminal fragments by the parathyroid glands (resulting in a raised secretion of fragments) and/or in peripheral organs may be directly related to the serum concentration of calcium. However, the degradation of the fragments may also be suppressed in a calcium-dependent manner.
