Abstract

Serum concentrations of carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) and carboxyterminal parathyroid hormone (C-PTH) were measured in 33 haemodialysis patients. Serum levels of PICP and C-PTH in the haemodialysis group were significantly higher than those in the controls. Although there was no correlation between serum C-PTH and creatinine, a positive correlation was found between PICP and creatinine. This indicates that the measurement of PICP in serum is useful for monitoring metabolic bone diseases in haemodialysis patients.
