David Schneider (Madison, WI): We know that patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism can have an elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) for 6 months or longer after correction of the secondary cause. Based on this, how long do you monitor these patients? I still worry about patients with a slightly increased PTH and an unsuppressed Ca. How long would you monitor these patients?
