Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the initial dose and dose adjustment range for paricalcitol injection in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis who have secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosed with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis 3 times a week for at least 3 months prior to obtaining the informed consent and scheduled to be receiving the same hemodialysis during the study period.
  • Using dialysate with constant concentration of calcium for 4 weeks prior to obtaining informed consent and phosphate binder with constant dose regimen for 2 weeks prior to obtaining informed consent.
  • Intact parathyroid hormone level (iPTH) ≥ 300 pg/mL
  • Calcium (adjusted) 8.4-10.2 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
