Core Tip	In this study, 40 patients with chronic renal failure were treated with paricalcitol for 24 wk. It was found that paricalcitol can significantly reduce intact parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase and serum phosphate levels, and maintain a relatively stable serum calcium level. Therefore, paricalcitol is effective and safe in the treatment of hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
