Abstract:
Objective To study the pathogenetic characteristics of tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a male patient with tertiary hyperparathyroidism were reviwed. Results The patient who had had chronic renal failure underwent excision of the adenoma of parathyroid gland 5 year ago.After that,the total parathyroidectomy and autografting were performed because of his recurrent hyperparathyroidism.The patient began hemodialysis therapy 3 years ago and then underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation 2 years ago.Two months after the operation,symptomatic hyperparathyroidism relapsed.The autonomic parathyroid grafts were removed three times (one part of the grafts resected each time) with relapse occurring three times.Later the hyperparathyroidism was cured by itself after the patient was mentally irritated. Conclusions Tertiary hyperparathyroidism may have already developed before kidney transplantation.
