Super-high levels of serum intact-parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers descended with recuperating allograft function and a short-term high-dose methylprednisolone during preoperative period of renal transplantation: a retrospective cohort s

The super-high levels of BTMs and iPTH rapidly descended with recuperating allograft function during the short-term, indicating that improvement of current dialysis equipment to achieve clean up iPTH could more favorably decrease BMTs and improve CKD-MBD. Osteogenesis markers P1NP and OC still decreased and were not affected in CKD-V group, indicating that high-dose glucocorticoids might strongly inhibit osteoblast activity.
