Symptoms of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis: A Prospective Cohort Study

ConclusionsIn this exploratory study, we observed that among patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, increases in PTH levels over time were associated with worsening of 1 or more cluster of symptoms. Replication of these findings in other populations is needed before concluding about the magnitude and shape of these associations. If replicated, these findings could inform clinically useful approaches for measuring patient-reported outcomes related to secondary hyperparathyroidism.
