[Hyperparathyroidism in patients having undergone a kidney transplant].
The persistence or onset of hyperparathyroidism following kidney transplant is characterized by an incidence ranging from 2.6 to 70% according to the various statistics available. In a total of 462 kidney transplants performed in our department, hyperparathyroidism was detected in 9 patients. Surgery took the form of parathyroidectomy 8/8 plus autograft in 3 cases, parathyroidectomy 3/4 in 2 cases, 7/8 in 2 cases, and 4/8 in 1 case. Serum calcium values returned to normal in all patients after the operation.
