Laboratory results and treatment. Time course of ionized serum calcium (pink line; normal range: 1.14–1.27 mmol/L) and serum phosphate (blue line; normal range: 0.83–1.67 mmol/L) during the 14 weeks of hospital treatment. Septic episodes are indicated on the abscissa (light red). ‘Bx‘indicates the time point of bone biopsy and ‘rhPTH, daily injections‘the duration of teriparatide treatment (20 μg per day). Intact parathormone (iPTH; dark green boxes; normal range: 10–65 pg/mL, suggested range for CKD 5D: 2–9 times the upper normal range [21]) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP; light blue boxes; normal range: 5–27 μg/L) are shown in the upper part at the corresponding time points. Dialysis frequency and sodium thiosulfate administration (25 g per infusion) are shown in the bottom part of the graph (dark grey lines indicate use of a dialysate calcium of 1.25 mmol/L and heparin anticoagulation, light grey lines a dialysate calcium of 1.0 mmol/L and citrate anticoagulation)
