Parathyroidectomy in patients with chronic kidney disease: Impacts of different techniques on the biochemical and clinical evolution of secondary hyperparathyroidism

Parathyroidectomy (PTx) decreases the mortality rate of refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (rSHP) due to chronic kidney disease. A consensus regarding which techniques of PTx are associated with better outcomes is not available. The aims of this study are to evaluate the clinical and laboratory evolution of 49 hemodialysis patients with rSHP who underwent PTx using different techniques.
