Effect of Parathyroidectomy Timing on the Successful Resolution of Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism following kidney transplantation is a well-recognized complication in patients with pre-existing mineral imbalances due to chronic renal failure. Parathyroidectomy remains the only definitively curative option for tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The optimal timing of parathyroidectomy, before or after transplantation, is debated in the literature. This study aims to assess whether parathyroidectomy timing affects the successful resolution of tertiary hyperparathyroidism in patients with a functional kidney transplant. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature collating the effect of pre- versus post-transplantation parathyroidectomy on the resolution of tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
