Cost-effectiveness analysis of intravenous paricalcitol vs. oral calcitriol in the treatment of hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic kidney disease
Abstract:Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands and cardiovascular disease. Selective and non-selective and selective vitamin D-receptor activators, calcimimetics, are available in the Brazilian market to reduce PTH levels. Objectives: To develop a cost-effectiveness (C/E) and budgetary impact (BI) analysis of intravenous paricalcitol vs. oral calcitriol for patients on dialys… Show more
