Relationship between parathyroid hormone and renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in dialysis patients. However, its mechanism is still unclear. It is suspected that parathyroid hormone (PTH) is associated with the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) as a possible mechanism. Thus, we examined their hormonal interaction in hemodialysis patients with secondary HPT. Seventeen hemodialysis patients with HPT were included. All patients...
