BACKGROUND: The calcium sending receptor (CaSR) allows parathyroid and kidney tubular cells to regulate PTH secretion and tubular calcium reabsorption. In the present report, we examined the relationship between CaSR gene polymorphisms and parathyroid CaSR expression and serum calcium/parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and clinical progress in ESRD patients in the Turkish population. METHODS: We genotyped the CaSR R990G and Q1011E variants in 192 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients by allele-specific PCR. CaSR expression in parathyroid tissues of operated 33 patients was quantified with quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. RESULTS: Compared with other genotypes, the ratio of both codon 990-AA and 1011-CC polymorphisms was found higher in operated patients (p = 0.001). In the total patient group PTH levels were found higher in patients with CC1011 genotype than those with CG1011 (1015.15 +/- 925.41 pg/ml; 523.84 +/- 544.6 pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.002). There were statistically important higher Ca2+ levels in the AA990 allele carrying cases than AG990 positive ones (9.3 +/- 1.0 mg/dl vs. 8.8 +/- 0.9, p = 0.006). On the other hand, the expression of CaSR in parathyroid tissue was found inversely proportional with serum PTH level (r = -0.71). CONCLUSION: Present data suggest that co-presence of CaSR gene AA990 and CC1011 alleles is a possible risk factor for bad prognosis in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Patients carrying this genotype have tendency to require operation early in their medical therapy period and need postoperative close follow up for possible recurrences.

OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of intraoperative parathormone measurement addressing successful surgical resection in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: The study included 42 consecutive patients operated on between May 2006 and July 2008. Patients were grouped according to successful surgery (Group 1, n = 36) and persistent postoperative hyperparathyroidism (Group 2, n = 6). Serum phosphorus (P), total calcium (tCa), ionized calcium (iCa), intact parathormone (iPTH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were drawn preoperatively and intraoperatively upon 15 minutes after completion of resection (iPTH(15)). The rate of decrease of pith detected by iPTH(15) compared to preoperative values was calculated (iPTH(%)). RESULTS: Preoperative P, tCa, iCa, iPTH, and ALP were comparable. Subtotal parathyroidectomy (sPx) (n = 27) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (tPx) (n = 15) were performed. Mean iPTH(15) value, iPTH(%) rates were 145.9 +/- 12.3 pg/mL, % 91.6 +/- 0.7, and 522.5 +/- 85.4 pg/mL, % 75.1 +/- 2.0 (P = ,001) in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. Mean serum tCa and iCa at POD#1 in Group 1 were 7.6 +/- 0.1 mg/dL, 0.910 +/- 0.4 mmol/L, and Group 2 were 8.3 +/- 0.3 mg/dL, 1.050 +/- 0.4 mmol/L (P < .05), respectively. ALP levels were similar. CONCLUSION: iPTH(15) value and iPTH(%) rate accurately predicts the completeness of resection in secondary hyperparathyroidism. The rate of decrease in serum iPTH detected intraoperatively compared to preoperative baseline levels exceeding 90% in sPx, 95% in tPx, accurately predicts the success of surgery. Postoperative normocalcemia without calcium replacement would raise a suspicion about completeness of surgical resection.
