“Discussion Hemodialysis patients treated with paricalcitol presented significantly decreased ADMA levels compared with those who did not receive this treatment.”
“Dividing ADMA levels by quartiles, patients treated with paricalcitol were less likely to have very high level ADMA (P = 0.014), whereas there were no significant differences with other medications.”
“Higher dose of paricalcitol was also related to lower levels of ADMA noting an inverse correlation (r = –0.36, P = 0.013).”
“Results Patients who were treated with paricalcitol had significantly lower levels of ADMA (0.21 ± 0.19 μmol/l) compared with those not treated with paricalcitol (0.42 ± 0.35 μmol/l) (P = 0.00027).”
