[Clearance effect of different blood purification techniques on parathyroid hormone in renal function failure patients on maintenance hemodialysis]

What Was Tested

Researchers studied Parathyroid Hormone (PTH 1-84) in this randomized controlled trial publication.

To evaluate the effect of different blood purification techniques on serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients with renal failure.

Who Took Part

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, middle-aged adults and older adults, both men and women.

Ninety patients were randomly divided into three groups: absorption (AP) group, hemodiafiltration (HDF) group, and HD group.

Blood routine examination, serum albumin, globulin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and PTH were measured before and after these treatments, and vital signs and side effects were recorded during HD.

How the Study Was Run

The design is described as randomized.

Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got Parathyroid Hormone (PTH 1-84) and who got the comparison, which limits bias.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the length of HD were compared among three group.

What Was Measured

The subject headings attached to it are Hemofiltration, Kidney Failure, Chronic, Parathyroid Hormone, Renal Dialysis and Sorption Detoxification.
