Background/AimProlonged hypercalcemia impairs renal function, and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is typical in advanced primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). There are scarce data related to predictors of renal impairment in patients with PHPT. Hence, we aimed to evaluate changes in kidney function in PHPT patients after parathyroidectomy (PTX) and identify factors associated with GFR variation in these patients.Materials And MethodsOne hundred and twenty-five patients with PHPT who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2014 were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to GFR values: patients whose GFR was lower than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and higher than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Demographic and laboratory parameters were compared before and 6 months after parathyroidectomy.ResultsPrevalence of antihypertensive drug users and patients with renal cysts and parathormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase levels were higher in patients with GFR of ≥60 than in GFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.05). Systolic BP, uric acid, and magnesium were decreased in patients with GFR of ≥60, but GFR did not change in the two groups after parathyroidectomy. After parathyroidectomy, calcium and PTH decreased but 25(OH)D3 and phosphorus increased in the two groups. In multiple regression analysis, age, calcium, and baseline GFR were independent predictors of GFR variation. Parathyroid adenoma volume and urinary calcium were not independent predictors of GFR change.ConclusionOlderage, higher preoperative calcium, and GFR were factors associated with GFR increase in PHPT patients after parathyroidectomy. Further renal impairment was prevented by parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients
