Abstract

Background and aim: Persistent hyperparathyroidism after renal transplantation, termed tertiary hyperparathyroidism, is not uncommon. We aimed to identify the prevalence of persistent hyperparathyroidism after successful kidney transplantation and to study the associated risk factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 63 patients who underwent renal transplantation for the first time &for at least a year. Data was collected about demographic characteristics, duration of chronic kidney disease& dialysis therapy, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease and use of medications including vitamin D. Levels of serum calcium and phosphate and renal function test were recorded prior and post- transplantation. Serum parathyroid hormone was tested only post- transplantation. The association of those variable with hyperparathyroidism was studied by Pearson’s correlation. P≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Hyperparathyroidism was found in 53 (84.10%) patients, there was a strong positive correlation of parathyroid hormone level and serum levels of calcium and phosphate with (p-value
