Summary

The purpose of this research is to study the effects and safety of Sensipar approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in patients with kidney failure who are being treated with dialysis and have uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT).

Detailed description

The purposes of this study are: - To assess the effectiveness of a treatment algorithm that includes Sensipar on bio-intact parathyroid hormone (biPTH), adjusted serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), and calcium-phosphorus product (Ca x P) levels in the management of SHPT in CKD subjects on dialysis by determining achievement of National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) Guideline targets. - To assess the use of vitamin D sterols and phosphate binders when Sensipar is incorporated in the treatment of SHPT. - To assess the safety and tolerability of Sensipar.
