PTH and chronic kidney disease: It was observed histological evidence of PTH excess, particularly osteoclastic surface resorption, empty osteoclastic lacunae, and woven osteoid in more than 50% of patients with a GFR of 40 mL/1.73 mL/min, whereas endosteal fibrosis was seen when GFR fell below 30 mL/min suggesting that hyperparathyroid bone disease was present since early stages and progressed with advanced CKD.
