    Summary
    Throughout the 3-yr study period, serum calcium levels were similar in both treatment groups within or just below the normal range.

    Summary · context
    The primary end points were calcium levels in serum and urine.
    Summary · context
    In this randomized, parallel group, open-label trial, we compared synthetic human PTH-(1-34) (PTH) with conventional therapy, calcitriol and calcium, over a 3-yr period. Twenty-seven patients with confirmed hypoparathyroidism, aged 18-70 yr, were randomized to either twice daily sc PTH or oral calcitriol and calcium.

    In hypoparathyroidism, urinary calcium was normal during PTH treatment but remained above normal with calcitriol.

    Summary
    Mean urinary calcium excretion was within the normal range from 1-3 yr in PTH-treated patients, but remained above normal in the calcitriol group.

    In hypoparathyroidism, bone mineral density did not differ significantly between PTH and calcitriol plus calcium.
