title: Persistant abnormal serum parathyroid hormone after renal transplantation: correlation between renal graft function.
abstract: Secondary hyperparathyroidism in uremia renal transplantation. We studied the i-PTH (immunoactive parathyroid hormone) of nineteen immunoactive parathyroid hormone) of nineteen patients before and after renal transplantation with average of 20 months post transplantation. In group I patients with normal i-PTH serum level had an significant lower serum level of creatinine than Group II with elevated abnormal i-PTH. While the calcium and phosphorus showed no significant difference between group I and Group II patients. We suggested that abnormal serum i-PTH level after renal transplantation after one year was closely related to renal graft function. This group of abnormal serum i-PTH should be closely monitored for their renal graft function.
