Abstract

 

Objective:  To present the case of an adult patient with end stage renal disease who underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation for uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism

Methods:

Design: Case Report

Setting: Tertiary Hospital

Patient: One

Result: Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation resulted in decrease in parathyroid hormone from a pre-operative value of 1,347pg/mL (15-65 pg/mL) to 28.05 pg/mL.  Pruritus disappeared two days after the surgery.  Phosphorus and calcium levels were within normal values four days and two months post-operatively, respectively. 

Conclusion: Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation may be a viable surgical option for controlling secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with end stage renal disease and may play an important role in reducing morbidity and mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease.
