Text: Mean serum levels of iPTH and total alkaline phosphatase in the LCD group were increased at 3 months and at the end of the study compared with the baseline levels [(38. 6 + / -22. 9 vs. 63. 3 + / -46. 0 vs. 78. 6 + / -44. 7 pg/ml) ; (59. 5 + / -18. 7 vs. 75. 9 + / -26. 7 vs. 84. 0 + / -35. 4 U/l)], respectively, and bone alkaline phosphatase increased also only after 6 months of treatment (23. 4 + / -7. 3 U/l vs. 35. 6 + / -22. 3).
