Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is common due to the high prevalence of its main causes. Many pathological changes occur in these patients. Hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common pathologies reported in chronic kidney disease patients. High prevalence rates have been reported worldwide in previous studies, and different factors have been implicated to be associated with Hyperparathyroidism. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism among Iraqi patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy and to identify the factors associated with hyperparathyroidism. This was a cross-sectional study with analytic utility performed in in Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Dialysis Center during the period from June 2020 to March 2021. The study included 100 patients (60 males and 40 females). Patients with one or more of the following were excluded: primary hyperparathyroidism. Known parathyroid gland disease, malignancy, bone diseases, Kidney transplantation, or history of parathyroid surgery. Data was collected using a data collection form, and analysis was performed using the statistical package for Social Sciences version 26 (SPSS 26). Appropriate statistical tests were applied accordingly at a level of significance of 0.05. The mean age of the patients was 53.1 ± 14.2 (range: 18 – 80) years, male to female ratio was 1.5 to one. Prevalence of hyperparathyroidism was 33%. No significant association between hyperparathyroidism and each of age, the cause of CKD, or comorbidities. Hyperparathyroidism was more frequent in females (P<0.05). Higher prevalence of Hyperparathyroidism was reported among users of calcium tab supplementation\chelating, vitamin D, and Cinacalcit (P<0.05). Hyperparathyroidism was frequent among Iraqi CKD patients treated by hemodialysis in a rate of 33%. Higher prevalence of Hyperparathyroidism appeared to be associated with female gender, longer duration on hemodialysis, using calcium supplementation/chelating, vitamin D, and Cinacalcit.
