  • Title: [Effect of hemodialysis on levels of parathormone in blood of patients with chronic kidney failure].
    Author: Starzyk J, Kowalski D.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 1993 Apr; 46(7-8):283-5. PubMed ID: 8249416.
    Abstract:
    In 28 patients with chronic renal failure the concentration was determined of "MID"-"carboxyterminal" PTH fragment (M/C-PTH) and of beta-2-microglobulin in the serum during haemodialysis. It was found that the serum M/C-PTH concentration was increased significantly during haemodialysis using Cuprophane dialysers. The serum concentrations of M/C-PTH and beta-2-microglobulin were not changing significantly during the first hour of haemodialysis. The authors believe that the increase of serum M/C-PTH concentration during haemodialysis may be due to unsatisfactory biocompatibility of Cuprophane dialyzing membranes.
