    Parathyroid Glands in CKD: Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Molecular Biology in CKD

    No full text
    Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which parathyroid are affected by a combination of elevated extracellular phosphate concentration, decreased extracellular ionized calcium concentration, and markedly reduced serum calcitriol, leading to increased PTH synthesis and release. At early stages in the development of hyperparathyroidism, these changes are compounded of variable down-regulation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and vitamin D receptor (VDR), making the parathyroid cells unable to respond appropriately to calcium and/or calcitriol. The resulting increase in proliferative activity in the parathyroid glands leads to parathyroid hyperplasia
