Brief Summary

This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone for treatment of adynamic bone disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Detailed Description

This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months.

The study will explore if treatment with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH) improves bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD), and thereby prevents the high risk of fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Disturbed bone metabolism is related to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. This study also wishes to examine of treatment with recombinant PTH improves cardiovascular parameters.
