Secondary hyperparathyroidism of uremia is associated with poor health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and fractures. Standard therapy for secondary hyperparathyroidism includes vitamin D receptor activators, and phosphate binders. Persistently elevated parathyroid hormone(PTH)levels may require the addition of calcimimetics which sensitizes calcium-sensing receptors on the parathyroid glands.
