Trial summary

The impact of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on the bone mineral parameters in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) remains unclear.

About this study

The impact of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on the bone mineral parameters in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) remains unclear. The investigators performed this study to present the short- and long-term impact of PTX on calcium, phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone control in dialysis patients with severe SHPT after operation. In particular, the investigators evaluate the impact based on the achievement of recommendations of the current clinical practice guidelines for bone and mineral parameters in dialysis patients after PTX.

Read the detailed description
  1. A retrospective chart review of dialysis patients including referred cases, receiving surgical PTX, which was performed by one surgeon at the Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, a 1084-bed tertiary-care medical center in northern Taiwan will be performed.
  2. Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone were routinely measured for three consecutive post-operative days and subsequent laboratory values were checked during out-patient follow-up period. Patients with postoperative 6-month laboratory data are included in the short-term group and those with more than 6-month available data are in the long-term one.
  3. The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-K/DOQI™) Clinical Practice Guidelines provided recommended target values for serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH)(150-300 pg/ml), phosphorus (3.5-5.5 mg/dl), calcium (8.4-9.5 mg/dl) and the calcium-phosphorus product (<55 mg2/dl2). The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guidelines suggested maintaining serum calcium in the reference range (8.5-10.5 mg/dl), phosphorus (2.7-4.5 mg/dl) and PTH values in the range of two to nine times the upper reference limit (130 - 585 pg/ml) in dialysis patients.
  4. The investigators evaluated the impact of subtotal PTX on the control of bone and mineral parameters in dialysis patients with secondary HPT as the percentages of cases achieving the recommended K/DOQI and KDIGO targets.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperparathyroidism, run by Far Eastern Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percentages of cases achieving the recommended K/DOQI and KDIGO targets for bone mineral parameters after subtotal PTx (time frame: Twelve year period after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2013.
