Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem. It is the 12th cause of death and the 17th cause of disability, respectively. Secondary Hyperparathyroidism is seen in Chronic Kidney Disease.
The present study was planned to assess changes in Serum PTH, Serum Total Calcium with kidney function tests in patients of chronic kidney disease and control group.
In the present study, 50 cases of Chronic Kidney Disease and 50 apparently healthy subjects as a control group were studied. They were primarily diagnosed by clinical examination and evaluated by Biochemical investigations.
Levels of Serum Parathyroid Hormone was significantly increased in chronic kidney disease as compared to normal individual and was found highly significant [p<0.0001]. Moreover there is low level of Serum Total Calcium level in chronic kidney disease in compare to normal individual. [P<0.0001]
Secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is characterized by an increase in the serum concentration of parathyroid hormone and deranged homeostasis of calcium.
