This study is designed in order to investigate the effect of cinacalcet in combination with routine conventional medical management for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and Ca, P control. This study will compare the efficacy of a cinacalcet-based regimen with unrestricted conventional care (vitamin D and phosphate binders) for achieving the stringent National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) targets for dialysis patients.

> 30% reduction from baseline of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH)
Time frame: 20 weeks
Achievement of treatment goal of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (150~300 pg/ml)
Time frame: 20 weeks
Achievement of targets for mean Ca x P (<55 mg2/dL2), Ca (<9.5 mg/dL), P (<5.5 mg/dL)
Time frame: 20 weeks
Achieving targets for intact PTH (150-300 pg/ml) and calcium-phosphorus product (Ca x P) (<55 mg2/dl2) simultaneously
Time frame: 20 weeks
Vascular calcification score
Abdominal aortic calcification score (AAC, 0-24) will be measured at baseline and at 20 weeks according to Kauppila et al (Atherosclerosis 2004)
Time frame: 20 weeks
Normalization of serum alkaline phosphatase
Serum alkaline phosphatase measured at baseline and 20 weeks
Time frame: 20 weeks
Serum FGF-23
Elevated serum levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is associated with adverse outcomes in dialyzed patients. Therefore, we added analysis of change in FGF23 levels between two treatments to explore the cinacalcet effect in lowering FGF23.
Time frame: baseline and 20th week
