Abstract

Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is hypercalcemia after kidney transplantation. A near-total parathyroidectomy is curative for tertiary hyperparathyroidism and should be considered within the first year of kidney transplantation if hypercalcemia does not resolve. Cure rates of hypercalcemia after a parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism are >95%.
