Regulation of Bone Formation in Renal Osteodystrophy

To examine the effects of two types of active vitamin D (calcitriol and doxercalciferol) and two phosphate binders (sevelamer and calcium carbonate) on the bone disease and blood tests of children with kidney failure

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Pediatric patients treated with CCPD who displayed biochemical and bone biopsy proven secondary hyperparathyroidism were randomly assigned to one of 2 vitamin D analogues (calcitriol or doxercalciferol) and one of two phosphate binders (sevelamer or calcium carbonate) in a two by two factorial designed prospective trial. Serum biochemical measurements were obtained at baseline and monthly throughout the 8 months of the trial. Bone biopsy was obtaine at baseline and repeated at study completion.
