Recommendation

Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative

USA

2003

Patients treated with HD or PD with serum levels of intact PTH levels > 300 pg/mL) (33.0 pmol/L) should receive an active vitamin D sterol (such as calcitriol, alfacalcidol, paricalcitol, or doxercalciferol) to reduce the serum levels of PTH to a target range of 150‐300 pg/mL (16.5‐33.0 pmol/L). (EVIDENCE)

The intermittent, IV administration of calcitriol is more effective than daily oral calcitriol in lowering serum PTH levels. (EVIDENCE)

In patients with corrected serum calcium and/or phosphorus levels above the target range, a study of alternative vitamin D analogs, such as paricalcitol or doxercalciferol may be warranted. (OPINION)

When either HD or PD patients are treated with active vitamin D sterols, management should integrate the changes in serum calcium, serum phosphorus, and plasma PTH.

Caring for Australasians with Renal Impairment

2006

Oral calcitriol (intermittent or pulsed) is effective at lowering parathyroid hormone levels in patients on PD (Level II evidence).

Vitamin D and its analogs, either given orally daily, orally intermittently, or intravenously are effective at lowering PTH levels in patients on HD (Level I/II evidence).

Oral calcitriol is effective for the prevention or treatment of hyperparathyroidism in most patients on HD or PD. IV calcitriol may be more effective at lowering PTH levels and be less likely to cause hypercalcaemia but the lack of well‐designed studies of sufficient size prevents a more definitive statement.

Vitamin D analogs are effective at lowering PTH but clinical studies proving their effectiveness with fewer side‐effects prevents are either lacking or not definitive. On the basis of current evidence there is little reason to recommend their use over oral or IV calcitriol.

British Renal Society

UK

2007

The relative importance of hyperparathyroidism as a risk factor for premature vascular disease is difficult to determine from observational studies and no informative RCTs exist.

There is no doubt that a serum PTH concentration over 4 times the normal limit is associated with increased risk of significant bone disease and should therefore be avoided by medical (or if necessary surgical) management of hyperparathyroidism.

In the absence of firm evidence, individual clinicians should decide on the degree to which hyperparathyroidism should be corrects and how this should be achieved.

2001

PTH above 9‐18 pmol/L (78‐156 pg/mL) may well be treated with small daily doses of active vitamin D. IV pulse administration does not have any advantage over oral route. No evidence from direct comparative studies to show any superiority of maxacalcitol, doxercalciferol, or paricalcitol over calcitriol or alfacalcidol.

Canadian Society of Nephrology

Canada

2006

Avoid intact PTH (iPTH) levels < 100 pg/mL (10.6 pmol/L (Grade C); iPTH levels > 500 pg/mL (53 pmol/L) should be treated if accompanied by symptoms or clinical signs of hyperparathyroidism. Vitamin D analogs should be used in conjunction with a specialist.

There is insufficient evidence to recommend use of novel vitamin D analogs (grade D, opinion)
