Cinacalcet Improves Control of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Peritoneal Dialysis: A Multicenter Study

Abstract: main study limitations were the small size of the study cohort and the lack of a control group. CONCLUSIONSCinacalcet is well tolerated and may improve biochemical control of SHPT in PD patients.

“…There are no significant differences in the mechanism of onset and pathological state of SHPT between patients receiving HD and PD. Therefore, these patients receive similar treatments, including cinacalcet hydrochloride (cinacalcet), active vitamin D, and phosphate binders [4]. Because of the nature of PD, oral treatments are the preferred route of administration instead of intravenous injection.…”

“…Continuous presence of intra-abdominal fluid with adequate levels of calcium improve this imbalance and protect patients from hypocalcemia. Our major difference from the other studies of cinacalcet in PD patients 9,10 was the impossibility to improve the biochemical control of SHPT in PD patients after the second month of therapy. We prescribed cinacalcet in low doses (mean 45 mg/day) and only two patients tolerated doses of 90 mg/day.…”

“…In the first report, 9 discontinuation of cinacalcet administration was not required in any patient; in the second study, 10 all patients with digestive intolerance reduced or discontinued cinacalcet, with the appearance of side effects being similar or even lower than that reported for HD. 14 Additionally, in our report 92.6% of patients were treated with phosphate binders, which, alone, could lead to gastric intolerance.…”

“…However, increased use of vitamin D receptor agonists may be possible when the therapy is combined with cinacalcet (26,27). Cinacalcet is well tolerated and is shown to improve biochemical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism in PD patients (28).…”
