Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To test the hypothesis that total parathyroidectomy retards cardiovascular calcification, improves bone mineral density, reduces cardiac hypertrophy and arterial stiffening in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance dialysis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with end-stage renal disease contributes to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality via different mechanisms. Uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and has been implicated in the development of cardiac interstitial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction.
