ABSTRACT: Background
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common condition in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on dialysis. Parathyroidectomy is a treatment for patients when medical therapy has failed. Recurrence may occur and is indicated for further surgery in the era of improved quality of care for ESRD patients.Methods
We identified, 1060 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy from January, 2011 to June, 2020. After excluding patients without regular check-up at our institute, primary hyperparathyroidism, or malignancy, 504 patients were enrolled. Sixty-two patients (12.3%, 62/504) were then excluded due to persistent SHPT even after the first parathyroidectomy. We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent SHPT after the first surgery.Results
