Intervention
Intervention arm: Cinacalcet (oral) alongside standard therapy. Dose of cinacalcet will be adjusted according to PTH and calcium, within the range of 30-180 mg daily.
Control arm: Standard therapy alone.
Standard therapy includes vitamin D analogues and all available phosphate binders.
Duration of interventions: 12 months

Secondary outcome measures
The change in the following will be compared between the 2 arms at baseline and 12 months:
1. Vascular stiffness
2. Cardiac morphology
3. Cardiac function
4. Bone mineral density
