Impacts of parathyroidectomy on calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder, arterial calcification and arterial stiffness in haemodialysis patients.
Asian Journal of Surgery 2019 January
BACKGROUND: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder are important complications in haemodialysis patients. Parathyroidectomy (PTX) may prevent or delay the progress of vascular calcification in haemodialysis patients.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impacts of PTX on calcium and phosphorus metabolism, arterial calcification and arterial stiffness in haemodialysis patients with SHPT.
METHODS: Twenty-one SHPT-haemodialysis patients were selected for PTX. The preoperative and postoperative 1-year scores of coronary artery calcification were measured via multislice spiral CT, along with the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and preoperative and postoperative 1-year indexes such as calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product concentration and parathyroid hormone (PTH) level were compared.
RESULTS: Compared with the preoperative score, the postoperative 1-year coronary artery calcification score was significantly reduced; the mean baPWVs of the bilateral limbs were reduced; and the levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product concentration and PTH were all reduced; all differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: PTX can be used to correct calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder, reduce arterial calcification, and improve arterial stiffness.
