Investigators Identify Predictors of Post-Parathyroidectomy Hypocalcemia
In a large, single-center study, severe hypocalcemia developed in 1 in 4 patients who underwent total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Cinacalcet Withdrawal Linked With PTH, Calcium Rise
Serum parathyroid hormone levels significantly increased from 42.2 to 114.8 pmol/L over 12 months in patients who halted the calcimimetic drug.
Post-Parathyroidectomy Hypocalcemia Risk Factors Identified
Pre-operative parathyroid hormone and calcium levels and pruritus are significantly associated with development of severe hypocalemia.
Post-Parathyroidectomy Predictors of Hungry Bone Syndrome Identified
Predictors of hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy include lower pre- and post-op calcium levels, according to a new study.
Cinacalcet Administration After Hemodialysis Safe, Effective
Control of parathyroid hormone did not differ markedly at 48 and 72 hours after in-center HD compared with 24 hours after daily oral administration of 30 mg cinacalcet.
Parathyroidectomy Reasonable for Refractory SHPT
The authors of a new review suggest more dialysis patients could benefit from parathyroidectomy.
SHPT May Predict Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
iPTH significantly correlated with measures of diastolic dysfunction in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease.
PTH After Parathyroidectomy Indicates 5-Year PTH Outcomes
In 2 studies, parathyroid hormone (PTH) values 20 minutes after parathyroidectomy predicted PTH levels for 5 years.
High, Low Values of CKD-MBD Markers Linked With Mortality
In a study, intact parathyroid hormone levels below 60 and above 1500 pg/mL were associated with nearly double the risk of all-cause mortality.
Parathyroidectomy for SHPT Improves Quality of Life
Patients reported less skin itching, joint pain, and muscle weakness after surgery.
