Effect of Parathyroidectomy Timing in Kidney Transplant Recipients on Graft Function.

CONCLUSIONS: Parathyroidectomy resulted in sustained decreased levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone. We observed no graft failure risk associated with parathyroidectomy in our study. Parathyroidectomy before transplant is advantageous with better graft function. PMID: 30346261 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
