Abstract
The effect of changes in the dialysate calcium concentration on calcium fractions and parathyroid hormone species in plasma during hemodialysis has been examined. C-terminal immunoreactive parathyroid hormone was suppressed when plasma calcium increased by > 25 % whereas N-terminal fragments demonstrated an increase. The significance of this is discussed in light of present knowledge of parathyroid hormone metabolism.Keywords
