Controversy and progress in parathyroidectomy for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of common complications of long-term dialysis patients. Although medical treatment schemes such as calcimimetics and vitamin D analogues can be selected, patients refractory to drug treatment can still refer to ...

Cinacalcet: the chemical parathyroidectomy? [PDF]
The existing body of evidence suggests that cinacalcet isan effective drug for secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT) control in patients undergoing maintenance dialy-sis (CKD-5D) [1–10]. Indeed, available evidence suggeststhat by modulating the parathyroid calcium-sensing re-ceptor affinity to serum calcium, cinacalcet lowers by40–50% (250–350 pg/mL ...

Hungry bone syndrome in peritoneal dialysis patients after parathyroid surgery
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) occurs frequently in patients on maintenance dialysis receiving parathyroidectomy for refractory SHPT.

Parathyroidectomy: Whom and when? [PDF]
Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in patients on dialysis, and parathyroidectomy (PTx) is often required. We present a retrospective, descriptive analysis of data corresponding to 148 patients on dialysis undergoing PTx due to severe refractory HPT (PTH 1401 +/- 497 pg/mL, Ca 10.6 +/- 0.8 mg/dL, P 6.9 +/- 1.7 mg/dL).
