Bone histomorphometry before and after long-term treatment with cinacalcet in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism

This long-term follow-up study of dialysis patient treated with cinacalcet for 6-12 months showed improved PTH, biochemical markers as well as bone histology.  Of the 77 patients that underwent a second bone biopsy at 12 months, 20 had normal had a normal bone biopsy.   : Long-Term Follow-up of a Randomized Trial Comparing Laparoscopic and Mini-Incision Open Live Donor Nephrectomy Long-term Renal Outcomes of Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Microalbuminuria Dialysis-requiring acute renal failure increases the risk of progressive chronic kidney disease
