Abstract

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is the first and most recognizable complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) because parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a compensatory role to maintain calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Progressive renal failure give rise to a steady increase in parathyroid hormone concentration. which is related to occurrence of renal bone disease. The objective of this study was to find out the httact parathyroid hormone level in different stages of chronic kidney disease patients. This cross sectional study was carried ow in the department of physiology. Dhaka Medical College from January to December 2009. 100 chronic kidney disease patients aged 20 to 60 years were selected as experimental group and 20 apparently healthy subjects were in control group and were matched for age and body weight. Patients were divided into three stages based on their creatinine clearance rate (Ccr). Group B, includes 34 patients marked as stage 11 with Ccr 60-89 ml/min, Group Ba Group B3 consists of 36 and 30 patients each and marked as stage 111 and stage IV with Ccr 30-59 mIhnin and 15-29 Skills respectively. Intact PTH was measured by chemiluminescent hnutuno assay method. Statistical analysis was done by unpaired Student's "1"- test and pearson's Correlation test. Mean serum PTH level was significantly higher in all experimental groups than that of control group (p< 0.001). High level of Pal was found in 74% patients in stage 11, 81% in stage III and 97% patients in stage IV. Again, a significant negative correlation of parathyroid hormone with Ccr was observed in patients with CKD in all three stages. From the findings of the present study it may be concluded that intact PTH level progressively increases from early stage to late stage of chronic kidney disease.
