Tertiary and Postrenal Transplantation Hyperparathyroidism.

Patients who have undergone kidney transplantation (KTx) (KTxps) are a distinctive population characterized by the persistence of some metabolic anomalies present during end-stage renal disease. Mineral metabolism (MM) parameters are frequently altered after KTx. These alterations involve calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathormone (PTH) disarrangements. At present, there is little consensus about the correct monitoring and management of PTH disorders in KTxps. This article presents the prevalence and epidemiologic and clinical impact of post-KTx hyper-PTH. The principal biochemical and instrumental investigations and the therapeutic options for these conditions are also reported.
