Twelve dialysis patients received oral pulse therapy with 1-alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 in a dose of 0.1 microgram/kg body weight twice weekly and daily calcium carbonate (1.5-3.5 g) for a period of 8-12 months. This treatment was very effective in suppressing secondary hyperparathyroidism without causing hypercalcaemia and/or hyperphosphataemia.
