Abstract:
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) arises in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a consequence of prolonged secondary hyperparathyroidism and is marked by autonomous parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. In some cases, parathyroid hyperplasia persists even after successful renal transplantation, resulting in sustained PTH elevation and hypercalcaemia. These alterations contribute to bone loss, vascular calcification, and increased cardiovascular risk. Management includes medical therapy with calcimimetics or vitamin D analogues and surgical intervention via parathyroidectomy. However, optimal timing and treatment strategy remain uncertain. This review examines the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and current management paradigms of THPT, with an emphasis on areas that require further research and consensus.
