High Prevalence of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients Under Regular Hemodialysis in Brack-Alshati General hospital
Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of chronic kidney disease. We estimated serum parathyroid hormone and some minerals in 46 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment in the dialysis center at Brack Alshati General Hospital during September 2021 to October 2021. Before dialysis, a blood sample was collected for assessment of PTH level and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. The mean age of the patients was 45.37±17.14 years. The mean concentration of PTH for the study group was 826.77 ± 646.86 pg/ml. The prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) among the patients was 73.91%. We conclude that SHPT is highly prevalent in our hemodialysis population and has serious outcomes for the health of patients. If it is poorly overcome, this imbalance can result in the bone disease, calcification of soft tissue, and vascular calcification; all of these are found to be influential on mortality and morbidity.
