Use of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone to Treat Hungry Bone Syndrome in Hemodialysis Patient.

We report the case of a 35-year-old female with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis for nine years. She was diagnosed with secondary hyperparathyroidism complicated with a brown tumor in the mandible. After medical therapy failed, she underwent total parathyroidectomy (PTX), which was complicated by severe and prolonged hypocalcemia (hungry bone syndrome).
