Impaired Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Secretion in Haemodialysis Patients with and without Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

摘要

The aim of our study was to investigate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in hemodialysis (HD) patients without diabetes. We hypothesized that parathyroid gland function was a determinant of insulin sensitivity and/or beta cell function. The study was a randomized, cross-sectional one and patients were divided into two groups (total 27 patients), Gp.1 being those with relative hypoparathyroidism (iPTH
