Etelcalcetide Shows Efficacy in Clinical Practice
Patients on hemodialysis who have secondary hyperparathyroidism experienced a 40% reduction in PTH levels over 12 months of etelcalcetide treatment, investigators reported.
SHPT Linked With Weight Loss, Death
Weight loss partly accounted for the association between high parathyroid hormone levels and mortality among patients on hemodialysis.
Study: Etelcalcetide Can Be Used Safely in Diabetic Nephropathy
Etelcalcetide use in patients with diabetic nephropathy might protect against development of adynamic bone disease, according to investigators.
Investigators Identify Predictors of Post-Parathyroidectomy Hypocalcemia
In a large, single-center study, severe hypocalcemia developed in 1 in 4 patients who underwent total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation.
Patient’s Hypercalcemia Linked to OTC Antacid Use
A recently published report describes the case of a 61-year-old male patient who experienced antacid-induced hypercalcemia and highlights the importance of performing thorough medication reconciliation.
Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Diagnosis and Management
This report provides an update on the use of diagnostic tests for asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism in clinical practice.
Does Parathyroidectomy Reduce CV Risk in Primary Hyperparathyroidism?

A greater increase in bone mineral density at the femoral neck may be seen after parathyroidectomy for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism in men compared with women.
