Current evidence suggests that administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 [1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol] to patients with chronic renal insufficiency results in suppression of secondary hyperparathyroidism only if hypercalcemia occurs. Since the parathyroid glands possess specific receptors for 1,25(OH)2D3 and a Ca binding protein, there is considerable interest in a possible direct effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion independent of changes in serum Ca. Recent findngs indicate substantial degradation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the intestine, therefore, it is possible that while oral administration of the vitamin D metabolite increases intestinal Ca absorption, the delivery of 1,25(OH)2D3 to peripheral target organs may be limited. The effects of orally or i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3 on the plasma levels of 1,25(OH)2D3 and the effects of these 2 modes of treatment on PTH secretion were compared. Whereas oral administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 in doses adequate to maintain serum Ca at the upper limits of normal did not alter PTH levels, a marked suppression (70.1 .+-. 3.2%) of PTH levels was seen in all 20 patients given i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3. Temporal studies suggested a 20.1 .+-. 5.2% decrease in PTH without a significant change in serum Ca with i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3. In 5 patients the serum Ca was increased by the oral administration of calcium carbonate, the decrement in serum i-PTH was only 25 .+-. 6.65% when compared with 73.5 .+-. 5.08% (P < 0.001) obtained by the administration of i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3. Thus, a similar serum Ca achieved by i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3 rather than calcum carbonate has a greater suppressive effect in the release of PTH. 1,25(OH)2D3 administered i.v. rather than orally may result in a greater delivery of the vitamin D metabolite to peripheral target tissues other than the intestine and allow a greater expression of biological effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 in peripheral tissues. The use of i.v. 1,25(OH)2D3 thus provides a simple and extremely effective way to suppress secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients.
