The effect of parathyroidectomy on patient survival in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Summary, in English

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common condition in patients with end-stage renal disease and is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Despite improved medical treatment, parathyroidectomy (PTX) is still necessary for many patients on renal replacement therapy.
