Abstract

Objective To observe the effeet of hemodialysis (HD) combination with hemoperfusion (HP) on chronic renal failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods A total of 50 cases of hemodialysis patients from January 2006 to January 2009 were divided into HD group and HD + HP group. HD group was treated with single HD two or three times per week. HD + HP group was treated with HD two or three times per week in connection with HP one time per week. The serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentrations were compared at 0 w and 12 w between two groups. Results The levels of serum P and iPTH were significantly decreased while serum Ca was increased in HD + HP group. Conclusions HD combination with HP could significantly increase the blood calcium level in the CRF patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and improve their clinical symptoms. Key words: Hemodialysis; Hemoperfusion; Secondary hyperparathyroidism
