          Abstract

          New second-generation immunometric PTH assays have been developed. The assays measure full-length biologically active PTH(1–84) exclusively and do not detect amino-terminally-truncated PTH fragments, a feature that distinguishes them from first-generation immunometric PTH assays. Although few studies have been done thus far, second-generation immunometric PTH assays have not been shown to be superior to first-generation assays for the diagnostic assessment of patients with renal osteodystrophy. Plasma PTH levels obtained using first-generation-immunometric PTH assays continue to provide the most definitive guide to the management of renal bone disease because they are supported by abundant bone histology data. Additional work is needed to further characterize the utility of second-generation immunometric PTH assays as predictors of bone histology in patients with ESRD.

            PTH 1-84 and PTH "7-84" in the noninvasive diagnosis of renal bone disease.

            The intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay evaluates levels of serum 1-84 PTH and other N-terminally truncated PTH fragments, mainly PTH "7-84." This PTH molecule has been found experimentally to interfere with biological activity of PTH 1-84, perhaps through its binding to the PTH receptor complex. Therefore, assuming that high levels of PTH 7-84 are a cause of bone resistance to PTH, it has been hypothesized that a decreased 1-84 to 7-84 PTH ratio caused by a relative increase in PTH 7-84 level might help in the noninvasive diagnosis of low-turnover osteodystrophy (LTO). This study was performed in 35 patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis therapy who underwent bone biopsy for a histological, histomorphometric, and histodynamic study. In addition, blood samples were obtained for intact PTH, 1-84 PTH, and total PTH assays. PTH 7-84 level was obtained from the difference between total and 1-84 PTH assay results. Nine patients had LTO (8 patients, adynamic bone disease; 1 patient, osteomalacia), 12 patients had hyperparathyroidism (HP), and 14 patients had mixed osteodystrophy (MO). On average, 1-84 PTH levels were approximately 60% of mean values for intact PTH. The two assays were strictly correlated. Average 1-84 to 7-84 PTH ratios were 1.57 +/- 0.85, 1.73 +/- 1.31, and 1.95 +/- 2.1 in the three histological groups (LTO, HP, and MO, respectively), with no significant difference. Contrary to previous expectations, results do not favor the hypothesis of a role of 7-84 PTH in bone resistance in renal osteodystrophy. The 1-84 to 7-84 PTH ratio is not a marker of LTO and is of no use in noninvasive histological diagnosis. Copyright 2002 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
