  • Title: Blood requirement and subtotal parathyroidectomy in patients with chronic renal failure treated with hemodialysis.
    Author: Szücs J, Makó J, Mérey J.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1983 Mar; 19(3):134-6. PubMed ID: 6839563.
    Abstract:
    Six patients on maintenance hemodialysis underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy. In 3 patients with a "high" blood requirement before operation, a decrease, by at least 50%, was observed, while in 3 others with a "low need" for transfusion subtotal parathyroidectomy had no affect. Subtotal parathyroidectomy should be considered in hemodialysis patients with excessive need for blood transfusions.
