There are some uncertainties among the risk factors of vascular calcification in the hemodialysis patients. This study was planned to examine the association between abdominal aortic calcification and concerned biochemical parameters in hemodialysis patients. In this cross- sectional study, 84 stable hemodialysis patients admitted on hemodialysis section of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in 2013 were enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Pre-dialysis venous blood samples were taken from patients to determine the amount of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), alkaline phosphatase (Alk.P), C - reactive protein (CRP), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). Patients underwent abdominal CT scanning and ACI (ACI) was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 20. Chi-square, Kruskal Wallis and One Way ANOVA tests were used. P-values < 0.05 were considered significant. The average age of participants was 50.15±17.03 years (18-83 y/o).A statistically significant correlation was observed between ACI and ALK-P serum levels (p=0.01). It was found that ACI had a significant relationship with phosphorus in women (p=0.01). ALK-P serum levels in men also had a significant relationship with ACI (p=0.02). In addition, there was a significant correlation between ACI and history of cerebro-cardiovascular disease and also duration of dialysis (p=0.004 and 0.0001, respectively). In patients with longer duration of dialysis, and patients with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, ACI levels were significantly higher. ALK-P and phosphorus were correlated with aortic calcification in males and females respectively. No significant correlation was found between iPTH serum levels and aortic calcification.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading high mortality and even long-term morbidity. SHPT is manifested by elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and accurate determining the level of serum PTH is very essential for early diagnosis of SHPT secondary to CKD. It is very important to match the values obtained for intact parathormone (iPTH) and 1– 84 PTH with the minimized measurement bias.
The present study aimed to first determine the agreement value between the iPTH and 1– 84 PTH measures in patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to endstage renal disease under chronic hemodialysis. Then, we attempted to determine the best cutoff values for these two measurements for detecting SHPT in such patients.
Patients and This cross-sectional study was conducted on hemodialysis patients. The value of study biomarkers including iPTH and 1– 84 PTH was assessed.
A strong positive association was revealed between the two indicators of iPTH and 1-84 PTH (r = 0.800, P The measurement of both iPTH and 1-84 PTH is valuable for predicting hyperparathyroidism secondary to CKD, but according to lower cost and comparableeffectiveness of iPTH measurement, this assay may be comparable to 1-84 PTH to predict this consequence.
