Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence and risk factors for secondary hyperparathyroidism in children with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study of clinical and laboratory data of pediatric patients with CKD stage 3, 4 was conducted from 2005 through 2013 at a single center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: One hundred nineteen children (60.5 % boys) with mean age of 10.1 ± 5.1 y were included in the study. The mean eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) was 18.3 ± 15.4 ml/min/1.73m(2) and the mean intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level was 62.2 ± 89.4 pmol/L. Patients with a high iPTH had lower eGFR than those who were euparathyroid (16 ± 13.4 vs. 29.7 ± 19 ml/min/1.73m(2), respectively; p = 0.006), had lower calcium levels (2.2 ± 0.3 vs. 2.4 ± 0.3 mmol/L; p = 0.03) and a lower bicarbonate level (21.2 ± 4.2 vs. 23.3 ± 3.2 mmol/L; p = 0.04). Three children with hyperparthyrodism (4.9 %) had fractures, 16 (26.2 %) had bone deformities compared to 5 in the euoparathyroid group (p = 0.012). Parathyroid hormone negatively correlated with the patient's eGFR (r = -0.55), serum calcium (r = -0.43), and positively correlated with serum phosphate (r = 0.38). CONCLUSIONS: The single most important predictor of hyperparathyroidism in children in the present sample was eGFR.
