The concentrations of serum calcitonin', parathormone (PTH), amylase,
alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), calcium and phosphorus were studied in
pre-and post-dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. All patients had
extremely elevated serum urea and creatinine concentrations with the mean
values of143.8 and 10.5 mg/dL respectively. The plasma amylase activity was
higher than normal with a mean of 174 lUlL, but showed no significant
changes following hemodialysis. The mean values for calcium and phosphorus
in pre dialysis plasma were 7.2 and 7.5 mg/dL respectively, whereas it
changed to 8.6 and 3.8 mgldL post-dialysis. The extent of increase in PTH
and alkaline phosphatase levels depended on the duration of dialysis in the
majority of the patients. The longer the period of the dialysis, the higher the
concentrations of PTH and ALKP. On the basis of this study the relationship
between bone disease and hemodialysis has been discussed.
