Impact of Pre-Transplant Parathyroidectomy on Graft Survival: A Comparative Study of Renal Transplant Patients (2005–2015)
BACKGROUND: Hyperparathyroidism poses significant risks for patients prior to kidney transplantation. However, the outcomes of patients who undergo parathyroidectomy before renal transplantation compared to those without such a procedure remain uncertain.

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Hyperparathyroidism poses significant risks for patients prior to kidney transplantation. However, the outcomes of patients who undergo parathyroidectomy before renal transplantation compared to those without such a procedure remain uncertain. This real-world data study aimed to examine the clinical outcomes of both patient groups. MATERIAL/METHODS: Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients who underwent renal transplantation between January 2005 and December 2015. The patients were divided into two groups: a case group (n=294) with parathyroidectomy and a control group (n=588) without the need for parathyroidectomy before kidney transplantation. The groups were matched based on age, sex, dialysis vintage, and baseline characteristics at a 1: 2 ratio. Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using the Cox regression model. The main outcomes assessed were graft failure, mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) recorded until December 2019. RESULTS: During a mean follow-up period of 6 years, a significant difference was observed in graft failure (HR 1.40; 95% confidence interval 1.10–1.79, p=0.007) between the two groups. After further adjustment, graft failure remained significant (HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.07–2.15, p=0.019). Additionally, machine learning-based feature selection identified the importance of parathyroidectomy (ranked 9 out of 11) before kidney transplantation in predicting subsequent graft failure. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that severe hyperparathyroidism requiring parathyroidectomy before kidney transplantation may contribute to poor post-transplant graft outcomes compared to patients who do not require parathyroidectomy. |
