Value of Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Assay during Parathyroidectomy in Dialysis and Renal Transplant Patients with Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism

Conclusions: The 20-ioPTH is a good indicator of long-term PTH levels in dialysis and renal transplant patients. Hypocalcemia is a common complication, particularly in dialysis patients, and it is the main reason for readmission after PTX. Hypoparathyroidism is a potential concern after PTX in dialysis patients.Nephron
