Effects of cinacalcet on gastrointestinal hormone release in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing dialysis

Abstract

An acute dose of cinacalcet exerts minimal influence on gut hormone responses to a mixed meal in dialysis patients on chronic therapy with this drug. The small but significant differences between control subjects and patients on cinacalcet in VIP and substance P levels at 4 h should be investigated in symptomatic patients.
