About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Hyperparathyroidism Among End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Regular Hemodialysis and Its Relation to Dialysis Adequacy

This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism among end-stage renal disease patients on regular hemodialysis and to evaluate its relationship with dialysis adequacy at Assiut University Hospitals.

Read the detailed description

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of end-stage renal disease and is associated with bone disease, vascular calcification, and increased mortality. Dialysis adequacy, measured by spKt/V and urea reduction ratio (URR), may influence phosphate control and parathyroid hormone levels.

This observational cross-sectional study will include adult patients with end-stage renal disease maintained on regular thrice-weekly hemodialysis for at least three months. Dialysis adequacy will be assessed by spKt/V and URR. Serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and mineral parameters will be measured.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single cohort: ESRD patients on regular hemodialysisAdult patients with end-stage renal disease on regular thrice-weekly hemodialysis who will undergo assessment of dialysis adequacy (spKt/V and URR) and measurement of serum intact parathyroid hormone and mineral parameters.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism

    Proportion of patients with elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels above the target range (greater than 9 times the upper limit of normal) among regular hemodialysis patients.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Prevalence of adequate dialysis

    Proportion of patients achieving target dialysis adequacy defined as single-pool Kt/V (spKt/V) ≥ 1.2 or urea reduction ratio (URR) ≥ 65%.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Correlation between dialysis adequacy and iPTH level

    Correlation coefficient between dialysis adequacy parameters (spKt/V and URR) and serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels, using Spearman or Pearson correlation as appropriate.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Serum phosphate levels according to dialysis adequacy

    Mean serum phosphate concentration (mg/dL) in patients with adequate versus inadequate dialysis.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Serum calcium level

    Mean serum calcium concentration (mg/dL) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Serum phosphate level

    Mean serum phosphate concentration (mg/dL) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Serum alkaline phosphatase level

    Mean serum alkaline phosphatase concentration (U/L) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Calcium-phosphorus product

    Mean calcium-phosphorus product (mg²/dL²) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary and Kidney Failure, Chronic, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lamia A fathey, Resident (+20 11 00530550, lamiaaabdellah62@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07820150, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2026.
