Background and aim: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) measurement is critical to evaluate bone status in patients with chronic renal failure as adynamic bone (AB) and bone with a high turnover (HTB) require different therapeutic options. Since the 2nd generation PTH assays recognise a non 1–84 PTH fragment in addition to the intact 1–84 PTH, a new assay defined as 3rd generation has been commercialised.

Background & aim: Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is frequently accompanied by other organ-specific diseases. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of the association AITD-Biermer’s disease (pernicious anemia) by investigating the presence of intrinsic factor antibodies (IF-Ab) in the serum of patients with AITD.Methods: Sera from patients with biological signs of AITD (increased serum TSH levels associated to detectable thyroid ...
