Objective To explore therapeutic efficacy of parathyroidectomy (PTX) in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent PTX for uremic SHPT from January 2016 to March 2018 were collected retrospectively. The changes of serum calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) before the surgery and 1 d, 7 d, 1 month, 3 months and 12 months after the surgery were analyzed. In addition, the improvement of clinical symptoms together with the postoperative recurrence and complications were observed.Results Ten patients underwent the subtotal PTX (SPTX), 5 cases underwent the total PTX (TPTX), and 35 cases underwent the TPTX with autotransplantation (TPTX+AT). The PTXs were performed successfully in 47/50 (94.0%) patients. After the PTX, the bone pain and skin itching were alleviated, 3 cases had the temporary injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve and the hypoparathyroidism was found in 1 case. The levels of postoperative serum iPTH, calcemia, and phosphorus were lower than those at the preoperative level, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.050). The postoperative hypocalcemia was frequently seen in 38/50 (76.0%) patients, and it was effectively controlled by the intravenous calcium. After the follow-up for 3 months, the SHPT recurred in 5 cases (10.0%), of whom 3 cases underwent the TPTX+AT. The relapse rate in 12 months after the operation was 9.1% (2/22). There were no statistical differences among the three PTXs methods in the operation successful rate (χ2=3.351, P=0.211) and relapse rates in 3 months (χ2=1.321, P=0.753) and 12 months (χ2=1.794, P=0.411) after the operation.Conclusions In China, TPTX+AT is more common than SPTX and TPTX in clinical application. Operations of SPTX, TPTX, and TPTX+AT are safe and effective therapeutic methods for uremic SHPT, which can significantly improve biochemical indicators and quality of life of patients.
