Mineral metabolism was studied in 27 hemodialyzed patients with terminal chronic renal failure (CRF). Because of progressing hyperparathyroidism the initial treatment included calcium drugs, active forms of vitamin D (videchol, oxidevit), almagel, bicarbonate hemodialysis and hemosorption. The condition improved in 8 and stabilized in 12 patients. Conservative treatment was ineffective in 7 patients who consequently underwent total (4 cases) or subtotal (3 cases), parathyroidectomy. The response was achieved in 3, stabilization in 3, the disease advanced in 1 patients.
