The prevalence and duration of secondary hyperparathyroidism in 42 renal transplant recipients, and the sequelae of this condition, were studied. Immediately before transplantation, an elevated PTH-value was recorded in 76% of the patients, postoperatively there was a marked drop. Early after successful transplantation, 57% of the patients had hypercalcemia. At follow-up 3 years later, moderate hypercalcemia persisted in half of the patients but only 3 patients had significantly elevated PTH. The quality of renal graft function was not inferior in the hypercalcemic patients. Subperiosteal bone resorption and soft tissue calcifications were more common among the hypercalcemic patients. Our data suggest that secondary hyperparathyroidism can be managed conservatively in most renal transplant recipients. If progressive bone changes occur, surgical removal of parathyroid tissue should be considered.
