Objective: To evaluate the predicative value of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in outpatients of heart failure (HF) for hospitalization.
Methods: A total of 102 consecutive HF outpatients were enrolled. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves demonstrated the optimal cut-off points of PTH levels for hospitalization due to HF. And Logistic regression analysis model was employed to analyze the independent association between PTH and hospitalization for HF.
Results: The more advanced grade of New York Heart Association (NYHA), the higher serum level of PTH. The ROC curves showed PTH levels ≥ 56.05 ng/L were the optimal cut-off point for hospitalization for HF with a sensitivity of 90.0%, a specificity of 89.2% and the area under ROC curve of 0.92. After adjustment for predictors for hospitalization due to HF (gender, age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, left ventricular ejection fraction, estimated glomerular filtration rate and brain natriuretic peptide), PTH levels were associated with hospitalization due to HF (OR = 1.282, 95%CI 1.026-1.362).
Conclusion: The serum level of PTH in HF outpatients is an independent predicator for hospitalization due to HF.

Introduction: Chronic liver disease (CLD) can have a significant impact on the nutritional status of patients. Malnutrition is an under-recognized condition in patients with cirrhosis. Malnutrition increases the incidence and severity of decompensation, increases the risk of infections, and increases mortality.

Background: Calcification of the radial artery is one of the main causes of anastomotic stenosis in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in uremic patients. However, the pathogenesis of calcification is still unknown. This study attempted to screen and validate the risk factors for vascular calcification in patients with uremia.

Kenny-Caffey syndrome 2 (KCS2) is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism, inherited in an autosomal dominant mode, resulting from pathogenic variants of the gene, which is implicated in intracellular pathways regulating parathormone (PTH) synthesis and skeletal and parathyroid gland development. : The case of a boy is reported, presenting with the characteristic and newly identified clinical, biochemical, radiological, and genetic abnormalities of KCS2. : The proband had noticeable dysmorphic features, and the closure of the anterior fontanel was delayed until the age of 4 years.

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) is linked to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Levels of PTH are influenced by serum phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca), but little is known about the impact of magnesium (Mg) on PTH. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between PTH and Mg in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and non-dialysis patients from three hospitals in China.

Objective: Cognitive impairment is a recurrent complication in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which includes those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Researchers aimed to analyze vitamin D levels, beta-amyloid 42, indoxyl sulfate, and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with cognitive impairment who underwent HD.
Design: This comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at the HD unit of Dr.
