Combination Treatment With Intravenous and Oral Calcimimetics for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Hemodialysis Patients Who Decline Parathyroidectomy

While promising, the long-term safety and potential risks of this approach, including the occurrence of malignancies, warrant further investigation in larger prospective studies.
