Effect of low-calcium and standard-calcium dialysate on serum calcium, phosphorus and full-segment parathyroid hormone in patients on peritoneal dialysis: A retrospective observational study

CONCLUSION: We found that low-calcium PD fluid may increase the PTH level and the proportion of CKD patients using antihypertensive drug and phosphorus-lowering drug, but the vascular calcification effect of the low and standard calcium PD fluid needs further exploration. This paper provides new evidence for the choice of dialysate for PD, low-calcium dialysate has no outstanding advantages for long term dialysis.PMID:37877542 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231206641
