Cinacalcet may reduce arterial stiffness in patients with chronic renal disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism – results of a small-scale, prospective, observational study

Abstract

The results of this study support the possibility that cinacalcet reduces arterial stiffness of SHPT patients with chronic renal disease after 12 months of treatment. Prospective, randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
