Why the study?
Does parathyroidectomy improve cardiac function and fatty acid metabolism in a hemodialysis patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism?
Does parathyroidectomy improve cardiac function and fatty acid metabolism in a hemodialysis patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism?
Parathyroidectomy may improve cardiac function and fatty acid metabolism in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, which can be effectively assessed by 123I-BMIPP scintigraphy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support cardiac benefit from parathyroidectomy in secondary hyperparathyroidism; leaves open generalizability beyond this single hemodialysis case.
Nanasato et al. (2009) studied this question.
