Abstract
OBJECTIVES Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is an important contributor to bone disease and cardiovascular calcifications in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). When conservative measures are ineffective, parathyroidectomy is indicated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subtotal parathyroidectomy (sPTX) in pediatric and adolescent patients, and to provide a rationale for considering this aggressive treatment in CKD patients with uncontrolled sHPT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 19 pediatric CKD patients on dialysis with refractory sHPT who underwent sPTX at our institution between 2010 and 2020. All patients had clinical, radiological, and biochemical signs of renal osteodystrophy. RESULTS One year after sPTX, parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (median and interquartile range (IQR)) dropped from 2073 (1339-2484) to 164 (93-252) pg/mL (p=0.0001), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels from 1166 (764-2373) to 410 (126-421) IU/L (p=0.002), and the mean (±SDS) calcium-phosphate (Ca*P) product from 51±11 to 41±13 mg2/dL2 (p=0.07). Postoperatively, all patients presented with severe hungry bone syndrome (HBS) and required intravenous and oral calcium and calcitriol supplementation. None of them had other postoperative complication. Histological findings had a good correlation with preoperative parathyroid ultrasound imaging (n: 15) in 100 % and with technetium-99m (99mTc) sestamibi scintigraphy (n: 15) in 86.6 %. Clinical and radiological signs of bone disease improved in all patients. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric sPTX is effective and safe to control sHPT and calcium-phosphate metabolism in children with CKD on dialysis and may mitigate irreversible bone deformities and progression of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is a treatment for hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and has uncertain risks and benefits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PTX versus nonoperative treatment among nondiabetic hemodialysis patients. Methods A retrospective matched cohort study was performed. Each PTX patient was matched with one patient who had severe HPT but rejected PTX. The patients were matched by sex, birth date, date of first dialysis, nondiabetic status, and left ventricular ejection fraction. The serum markers, survival, main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) rates, and hospitalization were compared between the PTX patients and matched non-PTX patients. Results There were 1143 patients at our center in the Chinese National Renal Data System (CNRDS) between 2010 and 2020. Of these, 75 PTX patients were matched with 75 non-PTX patients. Rapid decreases in the mean intact parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus concentrations, and a gradual increase in hemoglobin concentration were observed in the PTX group. The mortality was 2.9 per 100 patient-years in the PTX group and 10.9 per 100 patient-years in the non-PTX group (p < 0.001). Compared with non-PTX patients, PTX patients had an adjusted HR for death of 0.236 (95% CI 0.108–0.518). The cumulative MACCE rates were 6.7 per 100 patient-years in the PTX group and 15.2 per 100 patient-years in the non-PTX group (p < 0.001). The adjusted HR of the occurrence of first MACCE for PTX patients compared with non-PTX patients was 0.524 (95% CI 0.279-0.982). The cumulative hospitalization rates were 50.3 per 100 patient-years in the PTX group and 66.5 per 100 patient-years in the matched non-PTX group (p < 0.001). Conclusions Compared with non-PTX patients, PTX was associated with an improvement in the biochemical measures and patient-level outcomes in nondiabetic hemodialysis patients with severe HPT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The parathormone level after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients are of interest. Low levels may require cryopreserved tissue implantation; however, the resection is necessary in case of recurrence. We analyzed post parathyroidectomy parathormone levels in renal hyperparathyroidism. METHODS Prospective observation of postoperative parathormone levels over defined periods in a cohort of dialysis patients that underwent total parathyroidectomy and immediate forearm autograft from 2008 to 2010, at a single tertiary care hospital. RESULTS Of 33 patients, parathormone levels until 36 months could be divided into four patterns. Patients with stable function (Pattern 1) show relatively constant levels after two months (67% of the cases). Early function and later failure (Pattern 2) were an initial function with marked parathormone reduction before one year (18%). Graft recurrence (Pattern 3) showed a progressive increase of parathormone in four cases (12%). Complete graft failure (Pattern 4) was a nonfunctioning implant at any period, which was observed in one patient (3%). Parathormone levels of Pattern 3 became statistically different of Pattern 1 at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS Patients that underwent the total parathyroidectomy and autograft present four different graft function patterns with a possible varied therapeutic management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Timing of parathyroidectomy (PTX) remains controversial in candidates for kidney transplant with concomitant renal hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the influence of early vs late posttransplant PTX compared to pretransplant PTX on renal graft function and morbidity. METHODS This single-center cohort study includes 57 patients with renal HPT and kidney transplantation treated between 2007 and 2017. Ninety-six patients had surgery for renal HPT between 2007 and 2017 as a consecutive sample. Group 1 (n = 30; tertiary HPT), group 2 (n = 66; secondary HPT). Of group 1, 4 patients were excluded for PTX before and after kidney transplantation. In group 2, 20 patients were excluded since they had not undergone kidney transplantation during follow-up. Twelve patients were excluded because of short follow-up (kidney transplantation in 2018), and 3 patients were excluded because of transplant failure within 90 days. Twenty-six patients underwent posttransplant PTX (10 patients within 12 months after transplant), and 31 patients had undergone PTX prior to kidney transplantation. Graft function, serum calcium concentrations, parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, postoperative morbidity, and 90-day mortality were recorded. RESULTS Median age was 53.1 years in group 1 and 49.1 years in group 2. Most patients were male (53.8% in group 1; 54.8% in group 2). Median preoperative PTH levels were significantly different with 331.6 pg/mL in group 1 and 667.5 pg/mL in group 2 (P = .003). Creatinine levels changed little from 1.4 mg/dL (range, 0.8-2.5) to 1.7 mg/dL (range, 0.7-7.3) in group 1, and no difference was seen between early or late PTX after transplantation. In group 2, creatinine levels were 8.5 mg/dL (range, 4.6-11.7) before PTX and 8.7 mg/dL (range, 5.1-11.9) after PTX. We saw no correlation between postoperative PTH and kidney function. Thirty-five patients with postoperative PTH < 15 pg/mL displayed a mean postoperative creatinine of 5.5 mg/dL (range, 4.3-6.8), similar to other patients. Both the 30-day and 90-day mortality rates were zero. CONCLUSIONS PTX had no negative effect on graft function, whether performed before or after (early or late) kidney transplantation. Surgical cure of renal HPT should be performed as soon as possible to prevent secondary complications and can also be safely carried out early after transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether total or subtotal parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism yields the best outcomes. We investigated mortality, cardiovascular events, hip fracture, and recurrent parathyroidectomy after total versus subtotal parathyroidectomy in patients on renal replacement therapy. METHODS Using the Swedish Renal Registry, the surgical registry for thyroid and parathyroid surgery, and the National Inpatient Registry, we identified patients who underwent parathyroidectomy between 1991 and 2013. We calculated the risk of outcome after total versus subtotal parathyroidectomy using COX's regression, adjusting for age, sex, cause of renal disease, time with a functioning graft before and after parathyroidectomy, Charlson comorbidity index, year of surgery, prevalent cardiovascular disease, time on dialysis, renal transplantation at parathyroidectomy, and treatment with calcimimetics before parathyroidectomy. RESULTS There were 824 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy, 388 total and 436 subtotal. There was no difference in mortality or risk of incident hip fracture between groups. Comparing the subtotal with the total parathyroidectomy, the adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for cardiovascular events was 0.43 (0.25-0.72) and for recurrent parathyroidectomy 3.33 (1.33-8.32). CONCLUSION There was a higher risk of cardiovascular events in patients after total parathyroidectomy compared with subtotal parathyroidectomy, but a lower risk of recurrent parathyroidectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is at present no consensus concerning surgical techniques for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although both subtotal and total parathyroidectomy provide low rates of recurrence, they may induce hypoparathyroidism, damaging the bone and cardiovascular systems. The aim of our study was to compare 3/4 and 7/8 parathyroidectomy in this population and to discuss the potential benefit of more conservative treatment. STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study in a university teaching hospital between 2010 and 2014. METHODS The study included 34 consecutive ESRD patients with SHPT: 19 underwent 3/4 parathyroidectomy (group A*3/4) and 15 underwent 7/8 parathyroidectomy (group B*7/8). Serum intact 1-84 PTH levels (before and 6 months after surgery) and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Before surgery, PTH levels were similar between the two groups. At month 6 following surgery, median PTH levels were significantly higher in group A*3/4 than in group B*7/8 (109 versus 24pg/mL, respectively; P<0.0006). Hospital stay was shorter in group A*3/4 (4.79 versus 6.80 days, respectively; P=0.008). Postoperative hypoparathyroidism requiring long-term calcium and 1alpha(OH) D3 treatment was reported in 5% of patients in group A*3/4 and 26% of patients in group B*7/8 (P=0.04). CONCLUSIONS In this preliminary study, 3/4 conservative parathyroidectomy seemed effective and safe, with less reported morbidity than 7/8 parathyroidectomy, as assessed by lower rates of irreversible hypoparathyroidism and shorter hospital stay. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3b, individual case-control study.

Abstract
Background We describe a modification of the conventional subtotal parathyroidectomy operation where the parathyroid gland(s) remnant is repositioned with intact vascular supply to a plane superficial to the infrahyoid strap muscles and immediately under the skin incision. This technique called Subtotal Parathyroidectomy and Remnant Relocation (SPARE) retains all the metabolic advantages of the conventional operation with the added advantage of easier identification of a recurrent hyperplastic remnant if re-exploration becomes necessary. Methods In the SPARE technique, four parathyroid glands were identified and the quality of each gland and the length of each vascular pedicle to the parathyroid glands were assessed. The optimal parathyroid gland was relocated to a plane superficial to the strap muscles. The remainder of the glands were removed. Results In total, 30 patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure (HSRF) underwent parathyroidectomy with the SPARE technique. The mean age was 53.1±12.5 years and median follow-up was 17.1 months (range 1-78.9 months). There were no recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injuries or hematomas. The pre- and post-operative value for corrected calcium and PTH were 158.4±109.4 pmol/L and 11.4±12.1 pmol/L, respectively (p < 0.05). Three recurrences were noted (10.0%), with a mean time to recurrence of 15.3±6.6 months. One patient had excision of the remnant parathyroid glands performed under local anaesthetic (29 min); one had re-exploration performed under general anaesthetic (81 min), and one was managed medically. Conclusion We described a novel parathyroidectomy technique for patients with HSRF, which provides the advantages of conventional subtotal parathyroidectomy while mitigating the challenges of thyroid bed re-exploration when recurrences arise.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is part of the CKD-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). SHPT is associated with increased risk of fracture and mortality; thus, SHPT control is recommended as kidney function declines. Effective SHPT management becomes more difficult once skeletal and cardiovascular adverse effects associated with severe SHPT have become established. However, interventional studies to lower parathyroid hormone (PTH) have so far shown inconsistent results in improving patient-centred outcomes such as mortality, cardiovascular events and fracture. Pharmacological treatment effect on PTH level is also inconsistent between pre-dialysis CKD and dialysis patients, which adds to the complexity of SHPT management. This review aims to give an overview on the pathophysiology, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment for SHPT in CKD including some of the limitations of current therapeutic options.

Abstract
Parathyroidectomy (PTX) may cause low levels of PTH, leading to an excessive reduction of bone turnover, which is associated with poor outcomes in dialysis patients, including vascular calcification (VC). We aimed to prospectively investigate the impact of PTX on bone remodeling and its potential consequence on the progression of VC in hemodialysis patients. In this prospective study, 19 hemodialysis patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) were evaluated. All patients underwent laboratorial tests and coronary tomography at baseline and, 6 and 12 months after PTX; bone biopsy was performed at baseline and 12-month. At baseline, all patients had increased PTH levels up to 2500 pg/mL and high turnover bone disease in their bone biopsies. Fourteen (74%) patients had VC. During the follow-up, there was a significant decrease of PTH at 6 and 12-month. At 12-month, 90% of the patients evolved to low turnover bone disease. During the period of the hungry bone syndrome (first 6 months), no change of coronary calcium score was observed. However, calcium score increased significantly thereafter (12th month). There was an association between VC progression and the severity of low turnover bone disease. In conclusion, the shift from high to low turnover bone disease after PTX occurs in parallel to VC progression, contributing to the understanding of the complex pathophysiology involving mineral metabolism and cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Introduction Cinacalcet is effective in reducing serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). This study focused on testing whether a prescription of low-dose cinacalcet on alternate days could be an option for treatment of secondary HPT. Materials and methods A retrospective clinical study was conducted on chronic maintenance hemodialysis patients. Patients with secondary HPT who received cinacalcet at a starting dose of 25 mg on alternate days were reviewed (low-dose group). Patients who were being treated with a standard dose of cinacalcet in the same period of time were selected as the control group. The primary outcome was difference in the percentage of patients achieving >30% reduction of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels at 16 weeks. The changes of serum iPTH and other biochemical data were also tested. Results A total of 30 patients (16 low doses and 14 controls) took part in the study. Baseline iPTH levels in the low-dose and control group were 1,065.9±477.7 and 1,214.1±497.6 pg/mL, respectively (p=0.413). The analysis showed that the percentage of patients who achieved the primary outcome showed little or no difference (33.3% in the low-dose group compared with 38.5% in the control group, p=1.0). Serum iPTH reduction during 16 weeks of study period in the low-dose and control group was 253.5±316.1 and 243.4±561.3 pg/mL, respectively (p=0.957). There was no difference in the adverse events between both groups. Conclusion Among patients with secondary HPT, initial treatment with cinacalcet 25 mg on alternate days can decrease serum PTH levels. The role of low-dose cinacalcet in secondary HPT should be further determined in large-scale, randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the frequency of hypoparathyroidism and of its recurrence after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients according to different existing classifications. Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of 107 consecutive dialysis patients undergoing total parathyroidectomy with immediate autograft in a tertiary hospital from 2006 to 2010. We studied the changes in PTH levels in the postoperative period over time. Were grouped patients according to different PTH levels targets recommended according to the dosage method and by the American and Japanese Nephrology Societies, and by an International Experts Consortium. Results: after parathyroidectomy, there was sustained reduction in serum calcium and phosphatemia. The median value of PTH decreased from 1904pg/ml to 55pg/ml in 12 months. Depending on the considered target level, the proportion of patients below the target ranged between 17% and 87%. On the other hand, the proportion of patients with levels above the target ranged from 3% to 37%. Conclusion: the application of different recommendations for PTH levels after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients may lead to incorrect classifications of hypoparathyroidism or recurrent hyperparathyroidism and resultin discordant therapeutic conducts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is recommended in patients affected by secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT) of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorders (CKD-MBD), resistant to medical treatment. Analyzing total parathyroidectomy with muscular or subcutaneous autoimplantation (TPai) outcomes in hemodialysis (HD) 2HPT patients, and monitoring intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels, we evaluated long-term functional results of subcutaneous parathyroid glandular tissue autoimplantation. METHODS 40 HD 2HPT patients, resistant to medical treatment, and awaiting for renal transplantation, underwent total parathyroidectomy with subcutaneous autoimplantation of 9-12 fragments of not nodular hyperplasia parathyroid tissue in not dominant forearm. iPTH were analyzed 24 h, and 3-6-12-24 months after surgery. The 1.08-6.99 pmol/L range was taken as reference of normal iPTH level based on which eu- (1.08-6.99), hypo- (<1.08), aparathyroidism (0) and persistence or relapse (>6.99) of disease were determined. RESULTS In every case PTai determined an extraordinary improvement of quality of life, associated with a notable reduction of iPTH serum level. Immediate normalization of iPTH was achieved in 50% of cases; hypoparathyroidism in 25% of cases and persistence of disease in 25% were observed. Long term follow-up showed a reduction of hypoparathyroidism and an increase of relapse rate up to 20%. Grafting resection was never performed. DISCUSSION Subcutaneous autotrasplantation is a very simple and fast surgical technique. Nevertheless, similar success and recurrence rates were reported following muscular or subcutaneous grafting, as confirmed in our experience. CONCLUSIONS Subcutaneous grafting was effective as muscular implantation, with comparable functional results, but avoiding its potential complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In chronic hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, pathological modifications of bone and mineral metabolism increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Parathyroidectomy, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events, may improve outcomes; however, its effects on long-term survival are still subject of active research. METHODS From January 2004 to December 2006, 30 hemodialysis patients, affected by severe and unresponsive secondary hyperparathyroidism, underwent parathyroidectomy - 15 total parathyroidectomy and 15 total parathyroidectomy + subcutaneous autoimplantation. During a 5-year follow-up, patients did not receive a renal transplantation and were evaluated for biochemical modifications and major cardiovascular events - death, cardiovascular accidents, myocardial infarction and peripheral vascular disease. Results were compared with those obtained in a control group of 20 hemodialysis patients, affected by secondary hyperparathyroidism, and refusing surgical treatment, and following medical treatment only. RESULTS The groups were comparable in terms of age, gender, dialysis vintage, and comorbidities. Postoperative cardiovascular events were observed in 18/30 - 54% - surgical patients and in 4/20 - 20%- medical patients, with a mortality rate respectively of 23.3% in the surgical group vs. 15% in the control group. Parathyroidectomy was not associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular morbidity and survival rate was unaffected by surgical treatment. CONCLUSIONS In secondary hyperparathyroidism hemodialysis patients affected by severe cardiovascular disease, surgery did not modify cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, in secondary hyperparathyroidism hemodialysis patients, resistant to medical treatment, only an early indication to calcimimetics, or surgery, in the initial stage of chronic kidney disease - mineral bone disorders, may offer a higher long-term survival. Further studies will be useful to clarify the role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in determining unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in hemodialysis population.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) may involve various surgical approaches. The aim of this paper was to evaluate presternal intramuscular autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue as a surgical option in SHPT and THPT treatment. 66 patients with renal chronic disease underwent surgery from April 2000 to April 2005 at Universidade Federal São Paulo, Brazil. There were 38 SHPT patients (24 women/14 men), mean age of 39.yrs (range: 14-58), and 28 THPT patients (14 women/14 men), mean age of 43.4 yrs (range: 24-62). Postoperative average followup was 42.9 months (range: 12-96). Postoperative intact PTH increased throughout followup from 73.5 pg/mL to 133 pg/mL on average from 1st to the 5th year, respectively, in SHPT and from 54.9 pg/mL to 94.7 pg/mL on average from 1st to 5th year, respectively, in THPT group. Definitive hypoparathyroidism was observed in 4 (6.06%) patients and graft-dependent recurrence in 6 (9.09%). Presternal intramuscular autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue is a feasible and safe surgical option in SHPT and THPT treatment.
