[Hyperparathyroidism and parathyroidectomy in dialyzed patients].
The authors present older and more recent views regarding the pathogenesis of hypocalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure with emphasis on the impact of inorganic phosphate retention and lack of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in body fluids. As regards therapeutic procedures the initial problem is to control hyperphosphataemia and to suppress the increased parathormone secretion in particular in dialyzed patients. When treating hyperphosphataemia it is necessary with regard to the severity of the finding to use concurrently several procedures and avoid aluminium phosphate binders. Aimed reduction of high parathormone levels in the blood stream can be achieved by medicamentous--pharmacological means, using 1,25 (OH)2 D3 or surgery of the hypertrophic parathyroid glands. The term parathyroidectomy can comprise also percutaneous infiltration of the parathyroid glands with ethanol. From this aspect under certain circumstances a combination of different therapeutic procedures may prove useful. In the conclusion the authors mention basic data on para-thyroidectomies performed in their department: the favourable long-term results of operations amounted to 80.4%.
