Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Classically, SHPT is induced by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and calcitriol deficiency, that cause not only renal osteodystrophy but also systemic toxicity, particularly cardiovascular disease. Treatment with calcitriol, the active form

Modern strategies to prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients give great relevance to vitamin D replacement therapy. However, a sound approach to treatment requires taking into account many factors, including stage of CKD, underlying renal disorder
