Abstract
The study confirms the differences between intact PTH and biointact PTH (1-84) in ESRD. Whilst there may be similarities in the diagnostic ability of both intact and biointact PTH (1-84), our data suggest that biointact PTH (1-84) assay may better reflect bone metabolism and BMD in CKD. Further longitudinal studies are needed.
