Surgical parathyroidectomy in pregnancy for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with end-stage kidney disease.
BMJ Case Rep

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on kidney replacement therapy, which leads to abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism. Patients conceiving on kidney replacement therapy add a further layer of complexity to the management of their SHPT. Existing literature in cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has linked untreated hyperparathyroidism to increased maternal and fetal morbidity, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, fetal growth restriction and neonatal hypocalcaemia.
