Original Source: Calcitriol and doxercalciferol are equivalent in controlling bone turnover, suppressing parathyroid hormone, and increasing fibroblast growth factor-23 in secondary hyperparathyroidism.
We compared the effects of calcitriol and doxercalciferol, in combination with either calcium carbonate or sevelamer, on bone, mineral, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) metabolism in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. A total of 60 pediatric patients treated with peritoneal dialysis were randomized to 8 months of therapy with either oral calcitriol or doxercalciferol, combined with either calcium carbonate or sevelamer. Bone formation rates decreased during therapy and final values were wi...
