Introduction — Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) affecting most of the patients in end stage renal disease. Materials and Methods — This prospective case control study was conducted on 50 adult patients of CKD, having individual parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels >300 pg/ml. These patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n=25) received calcitriol in dosage of 0.5 µg/day. Group II (n=25) received cinacalcet in dosage of 30 mg/day and calcitriol 0.5 µg/day. The study was carried out for 6 month duration. Results — The mean basal value of iPTH decreased to 246.40±219.99 pg/ml at the end of the study from basal value of 482.80±229.86 in group II. There was a 43% decrease in serum iPTH values in group II as opposed to the 14% decrease in group I (P |
