title: Hyperparathyroidism in uremia and after kidney transplantation.
abstract: From 1969 until the end of 1976, 376 patients have had kidney transplants in our department. Fourteen patients have had subtotal parathyroidectomy done, either in their uremic phase or after a successfull kidney transplantation. All patients, except one, who had an adenoma, had varying degrees of hyperplasia of the glands. The postoperative results were satisfying in 10 patients. 3 patients is medically substituted for hypoparathyroidism while one still is hypercalcemic. There was no operative mortality and no surgical complications.
