It has been reported that there is a significant positive relationship between PTH and body weight or body mass index in the general population. However, little is known about this relationship in dialysis patients in whom PTH levels are higher. It is also not known whether fat mass or lean mass is associated with serum PTH among these patients. In the present study, we examined the association of intact PTH with fat mass and lean mass in hemodialysis patients.
