Hyperparathyroidism associated with renal failure is due to chronic parathyroid stimulation by hypocalcemia, which, in turn, results from hyperphosphatemia and low circulating 1,25(OH)2D3. If prophylactic measures and medical treatment of hyperparathyroidism fail, parathyroidectomy should be performed to prevent the progression of bone disease. Resolution of renal hyperparathyroidism is often seen after kidney transplantation, but some hypercalcemic patients require prophylactic or therapeutic parathyroidectomy. Hypocalcemia is the most common complication after parathyroidectomy. Our long-term results with subtotal parathyroidectomy are satisfactory. Total parathyroidectomy plus parathyroid autograft should be used in selected cases.
