[Hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure. Analysis of 32 operated patients].
We report our study of 32 patients diagnosed as hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure (27 secondary forms and 5 tertiary ones), between June 1990 and 2003, that were sent from Nefrology Department for to surgical intervention. The following parameters have been analysed: Age, sex, clinical symptoms, kind of surgery performed, postoperative complications and anatomopathologic result (AP). On 64 nerves exposed, there were no recurrent nerve palsies. 12 patients suffered a symptomatic hypocalcemia (37,5%) although only one was permanent. The control of calcium, phosporus and calcitriol is essential to try to avoid a hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands.
