Abstract
BACKGROUND: Secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT and THPT), are complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by high levels of serum parathormone, hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia, respectively. If diet and pharmacological therapies fail, clinical practice guidelines suggest parathyroidectomy (PTX). Some studies have described its effectiveness and safety, but these have not included Mexican population.
