Abstract
Alfacarcidol and calcitriol are widely used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure, but it is often not possible to administer doses high enough to sufficiently inhibit parathyroid hormones because of the risk of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. We administered falecalcitriol (Hornel) Tablets) to patients with poorly controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism. The usefulness of falecalcitriol was demonstrated by the fact that control of intact-PTH was maintained for up to 24 months without a clear increase in serum Ca x serum inorganic phosphorus (iP), iP, and ALP levels.
