Comparaison of serum PTH concentrations obtained with a second and a third generation assay in a cohort of hemodialysis patients according to the KDIGO guidelines

Laruelle E. , Massart C.

Introduction: PTH concentrations obtained with the second generation (2G) assays may vary widely according cross-reactivities against 7–84 PTH fragments. 1–84 bio-intact PTH is only measured with a third generation (3G) assay.Objective: To evaluate whether the results found with a 3G method improve the classification of dialysis patients according to the KDIGO recommendations.Patients and methods: We studied the PTH value...
