UNLABELLED: This study was aimed at examining the relation between secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) and depressive syndromes in chronic renal failure (CRF). SAMPLE AND METHODS: 59 chronic CRF patients and 16 depressive patients without CRF were included. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphate as well as psychopathology were measured. RESULTS: Depressive CRF patients with cognitive disorders show higher levels of PTH than less or not depressive subjects. With respect to the literature, our results give reason to assume that sHPT may play a pathogenetic role in those depressive syndromes which are additionally characterized by cognitive disorders.
