Biochemical aberrations in a dialysis patient following parathyroidectomy.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases 1997 May
Renal osteodystrophy is a common problem in patients with end-stage renal disease. Severe secondary hyperparathyroidism unresponsive to an intensive regimen of diet, phosphate binders, and calcitriol therapy is an indication for surgical parathyroidectomy. Certain unique postoperative electrolyte aberrations are seen after parathyroidectomy, including severe hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia (hungry bone syndrome), as well as hyperkalemia. Identifying the patient at high risk for developing these electrolyte abnormalities will facilitate perioperative and postoperative management.
