title: [Tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Report of 5 cases].
abstract: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism represents an autonomous proliferation state of the parathyroid glands that takes place in spite of performing a renal transplantation in patients with chronic renal failure due to the illness. We are reporting 5 own clinical cases collected in a 14 years period corresponding to 2 men and 3 women, with ages between 43 and 53, that were sent from Nephrology for surgical intervention. The AP result was hyperplasia in 4 samples and 1 adenoma in the rest. 2 transitory hypocalcemias were registered but not recurrential palsies. After the surgery we got the normalization of hypercalcemia in all of them and improvement of skeletal symptoms.
