Article Synopsis
- * Despite multiple sterile blood cultures and no pathogens found in routine testing, molecular genetic testing using PCR successfully identified Tropheryma whipplei as the causative agent of the endocarditis.
- * The treatment plan included a 14-day course of intravenous ceftriaxone followed by a year of oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, highlighting the necessity of advanced diagnostic methods for accurate pathogen identification in cases where standard blood cultures fail.
Timing of parathyroidectomy in kidney transplant candidates with secondary hyperparathryroidism: effect of pretransplant versus early or late post-transplant parathyroidectomy.

February 2018
Background: The timing of parathyroidectomy in kidney transplant candidates suffering from secondary hyperparathyroidism before versus early or late after transplantation remains controversial.
Methods: The short-term follow-up cohort comprised 66 patients with 1-year post-transplant follow-up, while the long-term follow-up cohort contained 123 patients. Risk-adjusted identification of independent risk factors for compromised renal graft function (KDIGO stage ≥ IV) was performed using multivariable regression analysis adjusted for propensity score logits for parathyroidectomy before versus after renal transplantation.
Introduction: Nodular hyperplasia of parathyroid glands (PG) is the most probable cause of medical treatment failure in secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT). This prospective cohort study is located at the interface of medical and surgical consideration of sHPT treatment options and identifies risk-factors for nodular hyperplasia of PG.
Material And Methods: One-hundred-eight resected PG of 27 patients with a broad spectrum of sHPT severity were classified according to the degree of hyperplasia by histopathology.
