Intraperitoneal Calcitriol for Treatment of Severe Hyperparathyroidism in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Therapy Forgotten
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Active Vitamin D sterols such as calcitriol and alfacalcidol are quite effective in the treatment of mineral bone disease secondary to chronic kidney disease. However, some children on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are resistant to oral formulations of active Vitamin D, and use of an intravenous formulation in such patients is inconvenient. In these children, intraperitoneal (IP) calcitriol has been shown to be effective in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, its use has declined. We report 2 children, aged 1 and 9.5 years, on chronic cycler PD with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism refractory to oral active Vitamin D who were successfully treated with IP calcitriol for a period of 12 and 4 months, respectively. We also discuss the published literature on the efficacy of IP calcitriol for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and specific considerations for its use in PD patients.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
