Brief Summary:
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of teriparatide on the clinical course of hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis-dependent patients.
Detailed Description:
Postoperative hypocalcemia is a common complication after parathyroidectomy (PTx) for secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis-dependent patients. It is known to be associated with significant drop of parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level after surgery. Thus, in the present study we test the hypothesis that reducing iPTH difference before/after PTx with teriparatide injections immediately after surgery may alleviate clinical course of post-PTx hypocalcemia.
This is a feasible study aimed to determine the sample size for further large-scale trial.
