Abstract:
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a long-term complication of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). SHPT is characterized by hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands and abnormal secretion of parathyroid hormones (PTH), calcium and phosphorous metabolic disorders, renal osteodystrophy, vascular and soft tissue calcification, malnutrition, and other multiple system complications, which can seriously affect the quality of life of the patient and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality rate. Uremic leontiasis ossea (ULO) is a medical condition only rarely encountered clinically. SHPT causes craniofacial bone deformity accompanied by lesions of the nerve, cardiovascular, respiratory, bone, or other systems within the body. The case discussed here is related to severe SHPT. A 62-year-old male patient was suffering from leontiasis ossea, pectus excavatum, vascular calcification, spontaneous bone fractures, and lower limb deformities. He was undergoing hemodialysis and given total parathyroidectomy (TPTX) with autotransplantation (AT). We further analyzed the multivariate therapeutic effects of TPTX on this patient in order to provide clinical data for standardized treatment of individuals with CKD-MBD.
