Cinacalcet (KRN1493) effectively decreases the serum intact PTH level with favourable control of the serum phosphorus and calcium levels in Japanese dialysis patients

摘要

Background. Cinacalcet hydrochloride (KRN1493) acts on the parathyroid calcium receptors to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, and is already in wide use in the United States and the European countries. In this study, we examined the efficacy and safety of cinacalcet in Japanese patients on maintenance haemodialysis.
