Survival of a homologous parathyroid implant in an immunosuppressed patient

A patient who had undergone subtotal parathyroidectomy while on chronic hæmodialysis became severely hypocalcaemic after receiving a well-functioning cadaveric renal graft. After a homologous parathyroid implant, there was a biochemical improvement in the patient, and at biopsy 6 months later the pa...

Zusammenfassung:	A patient who had undergone subtotal parathyroidectomy while on chronic hæmodialysis became severely hypocalcaemic after receiving a well-functioning cadaveric renal graft. After a homologous parathyroid implant, there was a biochemical improvement in the patient, and at biopsy 6 months later the parathyroid graft was histologically normal. 21 months after the implant, serum calcium and phosphorus remain normal without calcium supplementation.
