Evaluation of T helper17 as skeletal homeostasis factor in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and T helper cells of end-stage renal disease cases with impaired parathyroid hormone Universiteit Hasselt
Background Chronic renal failure is mainly connected with high and low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and immunological impairments. The present study aimed to evaluate T helper 17 (Th17) cells as a crucial modulator of the immune system and skeletal homeostasis in hemodialysis patients with impaired intact PTH (iPTH).Methods In this research, blood samples were taken from ESRD patients with high (> 300 pg/mL), normal (150-300 pg/mL), and ...
