Diameter of Parathyroid Glands Measured by Computed Tomography as a Predictive Indicator for Response to Cinacalcet in Dialysis Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Background/Aims: Cinacalcet is one of the important treatments of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). We evaluated the role of computed tomography (CT) for parathyroid glands (PTGs) to determine the response to cinacalcet therapy in dialysis patients. Methods: In study 1, we compared the predictiv...
