ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the safety and long-term effect of total parathyroidectomy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.Methods:One hundred fifty-four patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent total parathyroidectomy in Zhongshan Hospital,Dalian University from Mar 2012 to Mar 2018 were followed up for 3-9 years,including the level of iPTH, serum calcium and phosphorus and dosing of calcium supplement.Results:Among the 154 patients, the iPTH level in 149 patients fluctuated within 15-60 pg/ml. After oral calcium carbonate, the blood calcium fluctuated in 1.8-2.4 mg/ml, and serum phosphorus was 0.8-1.6 mg/ml. The level of iPTH in 5 patients was between 80-150 pg/ml, which was higher than the normal value 10-70 pg/ml. The clinical symptoms of all patients were significantly relieved.Conclusion:Total parathyroidectomy is safe and reliable in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism with low recurrence rate and stable long-term effect.
