Prevalence and predictors of early hypercalcemia after kidney transplantation: a nested case–control study within a cohort of 100 patients

Background Hypercalcemia (HC) after kidney transplantation (KTx) can deteriorate both graft and patient survival. However, HC as a clinical condition and its clinical significance after KTx remain unknown. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of early HC after KTx. Methods We performed a nes...

Zusammenfassung:Background Hypercalcemia (HC) after kidney transplantation (KTx) can deteriorate both graft and patient survival. However, HC as a clinical condition and its clinical significance after KTx remain unknown. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of early HC after KTx. Methods We performed a nested case–control study using a cohort of 100 KTx patients. KTx patients were divided into the HC and normocalcemia (NC) groups based on the baseline serum-corrected calcium (cCa) levels (≥ 10.5 and
