Effects of parathyroidectomy on blood bone markers and heart rate variability in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease

ConclusionsCirculating bone markers are correlated with HRV in CKD 5 patients and PTX can improve decreased HRV, which are associated with corrected bone markers in severe SHPT patients. Thus, we propose that PTH increases sympathetic tone and both high circulating PTH levels and sympathetic hyperactivity increase bone turnover, and that the products of bone turnover influence HRV.
