Long-term renal graft outcome after parathyroidectomy - a retrospective single centre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical correction of hyperparathyroidism after kidney transplantation has been associated with significant graft function decline. We examined the effects of parathyroidectomy on short- and long-term graft function and its potential predictors.

Methods

For this retrospective, monocentric study we identified 48 (5.5%) out of 892 patients from our protocol biopsy program who received renal transplantation between 2000 and 2007, with parathyroidectomy after transplantation. Data from up to three years after parathyroidectomy was collected and analyzed with multivariable linear regression analyses.

Results

Main indications for parathyroidectomy were hypercalcemia and graft calcifications. Parathyroidectomy was successful in 47 patients, with a median drop in
