We compared clinical and laboratory outcomes in HD patients with severe sHPT. Mortality, bone pain and mineral markers were improved by PTX. Total and subtotal PTX had similar clinical outcomes.

We report on a novel association between low FGF23 and CVD in chronic HD patients and a lack of correlation of FGF-23 with VC. FGF-23 could play a role in cardiovascular protection that remains to be confirmed in larger studies.

uNeph is significantly correlated to uACE2 and uACR in type 2 diabetes patients.

Adiponectin is a significant predictor of MDA in early diabetic nephropathy, whereas SOD strongly depends only on glycemic control and is not directly related to adiponectin.
