The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cinacalcet on serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone in hemodialysis patients.METHODS: This study was performed in 15 hemodialysis patients. The medical records of patients taking cinacalcet for three months were examined. Biochemical tests and blood pressure were recorded. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 15.0. P< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: There were statistically significant decreases in calcium, calcium x phosphorus product and parathyroid hormone levels P=0.001, P=0.04 and P=0.009 respectively . Phosphorus level was reduced but not significantly. Nausea was observed in three patients, nausea and vomiting in three patients, as well as hypocalcaemia
