Effect of Hybrid Blood Purification Treatment on Secondary Hyperparathyroidism for Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of hybrid blood purification treatment on secondary hyperparathyroidism for maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: A total of 40 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: HD combined with hemoperfusion (HD + HP) group (n = 20) and HD group (n = 20). Changes in intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in these 2 groups were compared before and after treatment, and iPTH levels in the HD + HP group were monitored before and after treatment. Results: iPTH, beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2-MG), and cystatin C (CysC) levels were significantly lower in the HD + HP group than in the HD group (p < 0.05), iPTH levels were significantly higher than at the first day after treatment (p < 0.05), and iPTH level was significantly higher (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The clearance effects of HD + HP on iPTH, beta 2-MG, and CysC are better than HD alone. Treatment with HD + HP every 2 weeks is recommended for maintenance HD patients. (C) 2018 S.
