[Contemporary opinions on the diagnosis and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism].

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common hormonal disorders associated with a chronic kidney disease. The main causes of this disease are associated with renal failure hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and active form of vitamin D deficiency. The progressive secondary hyperparathyroidism leads to a series of complications known as a mineral and bone disorder in a chronic kidney disease. In the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism the most important role is played by stabilization of calcium-phosphate metabolism (through proper diet regimen, the use of phosphate binders) and reducing the synthesis and secretion of parathyroid hormone by the administration of calcimimetics and preparations of vitamin D. In the event of failure of conservative treatment complete or partial parathyroid resection should be considered.
