Risk factors of the progression of abdominal aortic calcification in patients on chronic haemodialysis

TL;DR: The increase of serum calcium after HD was related to the rate of progression of aortic calcification, and excess calcium is transferred into patients on HD when using a dialysate of 3.0 mEq/l calcium may be a risk factor for the development of vascular calcification.

Sevelamer Controls Parathyroid Hormone–Induced Bone Disease as Efficiently as Calcium Carbonate without Increasing Serum Calcium Levels during Therapy with Active Vitamin D Sterols

TL;DR: Treatment with either CaCO3 or sevelamer resulted in equivalent control of the biochemical and skeletal lesions of 2 degrees HPT, thereby increasing the safety of treatment with active vitamin D sterols.

Lack of Comparability of Intact Parathyroid Hormone Measurements among Commercial Assays for End-Stage Renal Disease Patients: Implication for Treatment Decisions

TL;DR: Noncomparability among iPTH assays remains a distinct problem for the management of ESRD patients and should be taken into consideration when determining the course of medical treatment based on measured iPTH concentrations.

Testosterone deficiency is a cause of anaemia and reduced responsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in men with chronic kidney disease

TL;DR: It is raised the possibility that restoration of testosterone levels in hypogonadal CKD males may translate into lower prevalence of anaemia and better ESA responsiveness, and the inverse association between testosterone levels and ESA doses persisted after multivariate adjustment but was lost after further adjustment for iron medication and hypochromic RBC.
