Official Title: Parathyroid Hormone Level and Growth in Pediatric Patients With ESRD on Regular Hemodialysis

Brief Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as either renal damage and/ or a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) below 60 mL/min/1.73m2 for more than 3 months.End stage renal disease (ESRD) is defined as GFR below 15 mL/min/1.73m2.Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an insidious disease that develops early in the course of CKD and increase in severity as the GFR deteriorates.High serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) are known to cause high turnover bone disease, i.e. osteitis…
