Randomised controlled study of the effect of parathyroid hormone on vertebral-bone mass and fracture incidence among postmenopausal women on oestrogen with osteoporosis
Kidney Int (Aug) 52:550-555 1997
We tend to think of PTH as the "evil hormone" of renal osteodystropy, because of its osteoclastic properties. With adynamic bone disease, we also are forced to recall the osteoblastic actions of this hormone. In this paper in non-ESRD patients, 1 -34 PTH given daily subQ to postmenopausal women was shown to have a marked salutary effect on both bone density and fracture rate.
