Recent information has shed a new light on the control of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by calcium and 1,25-(OH)2D. These new data have permitted a better understanding of the pathogenesis and management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidence has suggested a role for secondary hyperparathyroidism in the development of certain forms of hypertension and osteoporosis. Recent insights have been obtained regarding the occurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in obese and black subjects, in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, and in manic-depressive patients receiving lithium therapy. This review examines some of these recent gains in knowledge concerning secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as their clinical implications.
