More Details: Abstract Purpose Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is commonly performed as a treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PTX in patients with SHPT who underwent hemodialysis. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical treatment of 80 hemodialysis patients with SHPT who underwent either total PTX with forearm auto transplantation (TPTX + AT) or subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX). We compared the changes in biochemical indices before and after surgery as well as the attenuation of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in the TPTX and SPTX groups. We also evaluated clinical symptoms and quality of life using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Short Form-36 Questionnaire (SF-36) before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Results Serum iPTH and serum phosphorus levels decreased significantly after surgery in 80 patients with SHPT (P
